their extensive history of creating rugged, durable cameras that take the worry out of life-on-the-go
shooting. This revolutionary TOUGH model introduces the World's First Ultra-Bright, High-Speed
f2.0 lens on a Tough camera allowing you to

SUPERIOR OPTICS
HIGH-SPEED, ULTRA-BRIGHT F2.0 LENS
The TG-1 iHS is the world's first rugged camera on the market* to include an ultra-bright, high-
speed f2.0 lens so you can capture scenes that were previously "impossible" with a point & shoot.
This new lens strengthens the camera's shooting capabilities making high-quality images and
blazing fast shutter speeds possible even when a flash cannot be used or when shooting fast action or
in low light.
3.0" OLED MONITOR
This 3.0-inch high-resolution OLED display (610K dots) provides excellent visibility outdoors
enabling you to compose the perfect shot even in direct sunlight. And several protective coatings
help to prevent scratches and cut down on reflective glare from bright lights and sun. Awesome
optics, both in camera and on screen.

UNMATCHED RUGGED DURABILITY
THE PROOF IS IN THE BUILD
WATERPROOF TO 40FT.
The TG-1 iHS crushes the notion that cameras are easily damaged by water and humidity. The
Olympus-original complete sealing system and double lock construction borrowed from Olympus'
long history of manufacturing underwater housings ensures that the TG-1 iHS is completely
waterproof down to a new depth of 40ft. Even on land, the TG-1 iHS ensures that you'll never miss
an awesome shot just because of heavy rain or snow.
SHOCKPROOF TO 6.6ft.
The shockproof structure of the TG-1 iHS ensures that your investment is protected. Carefully
sandwiched between two protective frames, the lens and camera unit remain unfazed by bumps,
drops, falls and other impacts. Even after repeated drops, critical camera components and functions
like the lens, shutter, aperture and auto-focus remain safe. Drop, pick up, and keep on shooting.
CRUSHPROOF TO 220LBF.
The TG-1 iHS uses a double-layer construction, consisting of a tough yet lightweight polycarbonate
resin and a metal frame. The crushproof construction ensures that your camera - and screen! - won't
break, even under 220lbs of pressure. No more cracked screens because you've left your camera in
your back pocket or suitcase.
FREEZEPROOF TO 14F
Keep shooting outdoors even in the winter. The TG-1 iHS is designed to keep operating at below
freezing temperatures, safe from the two most common problems when shooting in cold weather:
lens condensation and auto zoom malfunction. Hit the slopes, fire up your snowmobile, or break out
the skates, because with the TG-1 iHS by your side, you'll never miss those awesome wipe out
moments.
DUSTPROOF
Life gets dirty. Between dusty fields and muddy trails, sometimes your camera doesn't stay as
pristine as you'd like it to. But even in less-than-spotless environments, the fine protective sealing of
the TG-1 iHS helps keep out dirt and debris allowing you to capture shot after shot even in the
harshest environments.
WATER-REPELLANT LENS COATING
Splash after splash; never worry about water droplets obstructing your images thanks to the water-
repellent lens coating that prevents water from remaining on the lens surface. And because it's
applied to the OLED monitor as well, composing shots in the rain or while riding the waves will be
a breeze.
DOUBLE-LOCK DURABILITY
With all the care that is put in to protecting the inner workings of your camera, it would be a shame
for the system to fail because the battery door opens unintentionally. Thanks to the multi-directional,
double-lock mechanism, your camera is protected from accidental openings under water.
OUTSTANDING IMAGE QUALITY
IHS
A high-sensitivity, high-speed 12-megapixel backlit CMOS sensor combines with a blazing fast,
DSLR-quality TruePic VI image processor resulting in high-speed autofocus, enhanced Intelligent
Auto for spectacular scene and subject recognition, and 2x Super-Resolution Zoom to produce jaw-
dropping images in locations that make even the most seasoned photographers cringe. This family of
technologies conquers challenging shooting conditions with improved light condensing efficiency,
less noise and quick response time - twice as fast as traditional cameras - for definitively
unmatched image quality.
SUPER SPORT MODE
Designed specifically to keep up with life-on-the-
go photography, the new Super Sport Mode
combines high-speed autofocus with extra fast
shutter speeds - up to 1/2000 - to freeze the action.
Conveniently located on the dial, this mode
captures 5 shots in a high-speed burst to ensure
crisp shots of even the most extreme action sport
settings.
LOW LIGHT MODE
Low Light Mode is perfect for capturing the mood
of low-light indoor scenes, beautiful sunsets, or
late night outdoor festivities without ruining the
ambience with a bright flash. Forget about subject
blurring or camera shake ruining the shot - Low Light Mode has you covered.

FULL HD VIDEO WITH HDMI OUTPUT & CONTROL
With the TG-1 iHS, you can shoot 1080p Full HD
videos (1920x1080 pixels) at 60 frames per second at
the touch of button, allowing for slow-motion
playback. Thanks to iHS Technology, your videos will
get the VIP treatment with excellent color reproduction
and faster processing speeds, while Multi-Motion IS
compensates for user movement creating smoother
videos. Linear PCM Recording, an audio technology
pioneered by Olympus for professional voice recorders,
records your videos with high-definition audio for
optimal playback results. HDMI output and control
makes playing back videos on your HDTV a breeze.
HIGH-SPEED SEQUENTIAL SHOOTING
Shoot like a pro! With 10fps high-speed burst
shooting, nail the perfect shot by taking a quick
sequence of images at the touch of a button. Still
afraid you'll miss a moment? At 3MP, the frame rate
increases to an astounding 60 shots per second. You'll
have so many great shots, you won't be able to share
just one!
ENHANCED IAUTO (INTELLIGENT AUTO)
In iAuto mode, the camera automatically detects the subject, lighting and situation to identify the
scene you're shooting - up to 30 different scenes including Night, Sport, Beach and Snow,
Underwater Snapshot and Backlight HDR - and adjusts the settings for ideal results. Leave it up to
the TG-1 iHS to choose optimum settings so you can focus on capturing that amazing shot.
SYSTEM EXPANDABILITY
LENS ACCESSORIES THAT TAKE FUNCTIONALITY TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL.
FISHEYE CONVERTER LENS
Achieve panoramic wide-angle shots without sacrificing the brightness of the f2.0 lens. Even in
darker underwater scenes down to 40ft., you can shoot wider, more dynamic images that beautifully
reproduce underwater scenery. Waterproof to 40ft.
>>>CLICK HERE TO SEE FULL SPECS ON AMAZON.COM<<<
TELE CONVERTER LENS
Telephotography of 1.7x extends your optical zoom from 4x to nearly 7x. Get highly artistic shots
that draw attention to the subject by blurring the background, and achieve higher shutter speeds
while zooming in close on a subject on the move. Waterproof to 40ft.
LENS CONVERTER ADAPTER
Don't forget the adapter for your Fisheye or Tele Converter Lens! Already have a stash of favorite
lens filters? The converter adapter can accommodate any 40.5mm filter.
UNDERWATER HOUSING
40 feet not deep enough for you? Dive to depths of 135 feet (45m) with the new Olympus PT-053
underwater housing, designed specifically for the TG-1 iHS. Featuring a large, responsive shutter
button, precision zoom lever and a tight O-ring main seal with safety lock, the PT-053 allows divers,
from beginner to dive master, to capture worry-free images of unique underwater scenes.
EXTREME VERSATILITY
GPS & E.COMPASS
The ideal travel guide. With the GPS and e.compass functions on the TG-1 iHS, location and
landmark information will be displayed and recorded along with the image. The TG-1 iHS is also
equipped with a logging function so you can track the route taken from recorded images by using
applications such as Google Earth and Picasa. And with the brand new LI-90 battery, you'll worry
less about battery life and more about your next destination.
MANOMETER
Mark your spot on the map with the built-in manometer. Records elevation & water depth and even
displays a warning when the user approaches a depth of 40ft.
AUTOMATIC UNDERWATER BALANCE
The Olympus TG-1 iHS boasts 4 different underwater scene modes -- Underwater Snapshot,
Underwater Wide 1, Underwater Wide 2 and Underwater Macro -- each carefully calibrated to allow
for optimal color balance, exposure and flash so you automatically get the best results. Beautiful
underwater photos made simpler.
LED ILLUMINATOR
An LED Illuminator is like a mini-flashlight on the front of the camera to enhance focus and
exposure for macro shooting - great for underwater close-ups where light is scarce. The LED
illuminator also works in conjunction with the flash to help illuminate your subject in low-light
conditions.

Magic Art Filters infuse familiar scenes with new and unexpected moods ranging from the excited
to the serene and from the whimsical to the mysterious. Choose from Pop Art, Pin Hole, Drawing,
