Description — Olympus TG-Tracker
The Olympus Stylus Tough TG-Tracker is a compact action camera designed around an 8MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor and built to handle real-world outdoor conditions. It records 4K video at 30fps and supports 60fps recording at additional resolutions, with Standard and Flat color profiles available for video capture. For stills, it reaches a maximum resolution of 3840x2160 and supports burst shooting at up to 30fps, making it responsive during high-action moments.
The camera's electronic image stabilization — including both in-body IS and digital IS — works to keep footage steady on the move. A 1.5-inch LCD screen with 115,200 dots provides basic framing and playback capability while keeping the body slim. At 180g and measuring just 35 x 56 x 93mm, this is a genuinely pocketable camera.
The weather-sealed reinforced plastic body adds durability for outdoor use. Connectivity covers Wi-Fi, USB, and Micro HDMI, and storage runs on microSD, microSDHC, or microSDXC cards. The included LI-92B lithium-ion battery is rated for 90 minutes of 4K recording.
