The rounded corners make the 11 x 7 x 3 cm metal case of the 12-megapixel camera Olympus Tough TG-1 look even more elegant. All the more astonishing is that the small camera weighs 230 grams.
Operating comfort in all living situations
This relatively high weight is due to the rugged equipment of the outdoor model: it is resistant to breakage up to a weight of 100 kg, up to 12 meters depth waterproof, with falls of up to 2 meters shockproof and forsichericher up to -10 ° C. The high The TG-1's housing is very well-engineered - even if the controls are quite small.
Accessories for divers
To allow the Olympus Tough TG-1 to be controlled with gloves or underwater just as easily as with bare hands, you can operate the camera by knocking on the case. To do this, you must activate the "Tap Control" function in the camera settings - it can be found under the menu item "Robust Articles". (Under this curious name, all outdoor-relevant functions are grouped together.)
Conclusion
A knock on the left side of the Olympus Tough TG-1 opens the menu for all camera settings, which can be reached in the first operating level. In addition to the parameters quickly available on many cameras such as flash mode, resolution, compression, and iris correction, the settings for self-timer, macro mode, white balance, serial mode, and ISO settings are also included

The photographer can even adjust how hard or how easy the touch should be before the camera responds. This control is simple and reliable, as long as you hold the camera in your hand or put it on a solid surface.
The Olympus Tough TG-1 features a GPS module as well as panorama mode, full-HD video recording, image stabilizer, face and pet detection, as well as a dozen digital filters and various scene modes. On the mode dial on the camera back, there are also positions C1 and C2, where the settings for two user profiles can be stored - so you can work with the favorite settings without having to make any preparations.
The focal length range of the light quadruple zoom (2.0-4.9 / 25-100 mm KB) can be extended with the optional converters FCON-T01 (Fisheye) and TCON-T01 (teleconverter). If you want to take the camera with dives that are below 12 m underwater, you can buy the PT-053 waterproof housing, which can be connected to an external underwater flash and an underwater macro and wide angle converter.
The picture quality is good with resolutions of 1323 LP / BH at ISO 100 and 1142 LP / BH at ISO 400, but the photos look a little soft - here a somewhat more restrained noise reduction could help. The dynamics capture of only 8 diaphragms at ISO 100 also does not contribute to the blurred impression.
Features and processing of the Olympus Tough TG-1 are exemplary. The numerous functions of the camera can be controlled well thanks to a well thought-out operating concept. Unfortunately, the picture quality can not match the ease of operation.
