Product details

Ultimate adventures often take place under the most difficult lighting conditions. From arctic twilight to the underwater world, the ability to handle low light is crucial to a great picture.
A new image sensor with outstanding high-speed and high-sensitivity performance combined with the latest TruePic VIII image processor from our flagship system camera offers better image quality with improved dynamic range and improved response time. In combination with the free OI.Track app, the new TG-5 lets you link GPS, compass, gauge and temperature data to your photos and videos and transfer them to your smartphone or tablet via Wi-Fi. The double-walled safety glass is just one of the new additions to the proven, robust capabilities, and you can pick up whatever jumps in front of your lens. Extreme temperature shifts can cause condensation on lenses. The TG-5 prevents this with double-walled protective glass, which makes it easy to pick up further. To make movement look impressive, every detail must be captured at just the right moment. With the advanced technology of the TG-5, this is easier than ever. The high-speed TruePic VIII processor lets you record videos in pin sharp 4K and breathtaking slow motion at 120 frames per second in full HD. Have you ever wanted to photograph tiny motifs in incredible detail that are barely recognizable to the human eye? The TG-5's advanced variable macro system (with microscope, microscope control, focus bracketing and focus stacking modes) now offers maximum 7x magnification. In microscope mode, the camera can shoot subjects up to a minimum distance of 1cm. In microscope control mode, the magnification of the screen can be increased to 44.4x by turning the zoom lever. In addition, the LD-1 Light Guide and the FD-1 Flash Diffusor are available as accessories to help you fully exploit the potential of the variable macro system. Achieve spectacular macro shots like through a microscope.
