Camera Overview — OM System TG-6

The OM System TG-6 is a rugged point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 12MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor paired with the TruePic VIII image processor. Designed with demanding conditions in mind, its Tough Polycarbonate body carries a Water Resistant rating and weighs just 250g, making it a genuinely portable companion for outdoor and aquatic shooting. The camera supports an ISO range of 100–12800, giving it reasonable flexibility across lighting conditions.

Shooting performance includes a 20fps burst mode, while video capabilities extend to 4K at 30fps and Full HD at 120fps — useful for capturing fast-moving subjects in high frame rate slow motion. Both photo and video modes offer Standard and Underwater color profiles, acknowledging the camera's intended use below the surface. A 3-inch LCD Touchscreen handles framing and menu navigation in the absence of a viewfinder.

Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enable wireless image transfer and remote control, and storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards. Digital image stabilization is on board, and the rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery is rated for approximately 340 shots per charge. Dimensions are 113 x 66 x 32 mm.
