SUPERIOR OPTICS
---------------
High-Speed, Ultra-Bright f2.0 Lens
The TG-2 iHS is the only 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

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" 610K OLED Monitor

excellent visibility outdoors enabling you to compose the perfect
even in direct sunlight. And several protective coatings
help to prevent scratches and cut down on reflective glare from
bright lights and sun.
LIFEPROOF
---------
Waterproof 50ft/15m
The TG-2 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 50ft.
Even on land, the TG-2 iHS ensures that you’ll never miss an
awesome just because of heavy rain or snow.
Shockproof 7ft/2.1m
The shockproof structure of the TG-2 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 220lbf/100kgf
No case, no problem! With a rugged body and reinforced LCD, the
TG-2 iHS withstands up to 220 pounds of pressure so your camera
and images are always protected.
Freezeproof 14°F/-10°C
Keep shooting outdoors even in the winter. The TG-2 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-2 iHS by your side, you’ll never miss those awesome wipe out
moments.
Dustproof
Don’t let a little wind and dust ruin your plans – or your
camera! Take photos confidently in the driest conditions without
worrying about destructive dirt and dust
Water-repellent 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
s 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.
