![]() ![]() No strobes were used in this shot only a single Light & Motion Sola 3000, making for a very compact wide angle shooting rig. The TG-4 becomes a great wide angle setup when paired with a lens like the UWL-04 fisheye lens which threads directly on to the housing. But for most diving, you will be better off using the Olympus PT-056 housing in addition to increasing the depth rating to 150 feet, it also allows for the easy attachment of strobes or lights, making this a full-featured rig. © Jim Decker | TG-4 | ISO 125 | 1/400 sec at f/4.9 Snorkelers will be intrigued by the relatively inexpensive FCON-T01 Fisheye Converter Lens that will mount directly onto the camera for use underwater. This gobe image was taken with NO additional macro accessory lens, and continuous light from a Sola 2000. In microscope mode, the TG-4 gets crazy close-up super macro. All of the photos shown are completely uncropped from the camera. This camera will focus so close in microscope mode that if you have any lint or debris on the inside of the housing lens, it will focus on that instead of the subject, so make sure your lens port is clean! You can get super close up shots of blennies, so much so that you can see their teeth and their need to floss. Microscope mode will allow you to get crazy close to those small subjects, filling the frame with tack sharp images. The greatest feature of the TG-4 is its ability to capture macro and super macro images without adding an accessory lens. It even fits in the same Olympus PT-056 Underwater Housing as the TG-3. This is a major step forward in image quality with RAW being an uncompressed format compared to JPEG. The only major difference with the TG-4 over the TG-3 is the addition of RAW shooting capability instead of JPEG. In addition, the TG-4 Tough lives up to its name, as it is shock-proof, crush-proof, freeze-proof and dust-proof. The TG-4 is a splash-proof pocket camera, one that you can take snorkeling on its own, waterproof to 50 feet, or take it deeper while diving using the Olympus PT-056 Underwater Housing, making it waterproof to 150 feet. The Olympus Tough TG-4 Camera The Olympus TG-4 is an update to the previous Olympus Tough series line flagship, the TG-3.
