Dare More
You know what’s one of the toughest things to find these days? Freedom. And we don’t mean just that stars and stripes kind of freedom, but that true, feel-it-in-your-bones, electrifying sense of being wholly unburdened and unbound, rid of any sense of duty to nothing but the moment. That - kind of freedom.
And that freedom usually isn’t a well-paved trail. It isn’t mapped out perfectly, and it doesn’t come in handy packages or with instructions. This kind of freedom takes a lot but leaves you wanting for more. Dare to try?

Like a duck to water - Waterproof
The TG-7 features sealing and a double lock construction that delivers waterproof performance up to a depth of 15m (50ft). Probably more than you’ll ever freedive to, and in the case that you want to take it even deeper, we’ve got you covered (literally) with the PT-059 Underwater Case.
Eats tough luck for breakfast - Shockproof
An advanced protective construction allows the TG-7 to deliver shockproof performance for drops up to 2.1m. That means the camera won’t drop the ball on you, even when things get gnarly.
Cold cases all day - Freezeproof
If frosty fingers and snow is your idea of a good time, then rest assured the TG-7 is down to party. It has worry-free freezeproof performance down to even -10°C.
Get that dirt off your shoulder - Dustproof
More into sandy shores, beach life, or Arabian nights? The OM SYSTEM Tough TG-7 keeps out sand and dust, so you can focus on venturing further.
Handle the pressure - Crushproof
Don’t let adversity crush your spirit or your camera. The internal protective construction of the TG-7 helps the camera withstand loads up to 100 kg. When the pressure to give up and quit feels overwhelming, remember that you and your adventure buddy can take it.
In the clear - Anti-Fog
Hot, cold, up, down, indoor and outdoor. Nothing hazes the view and dampens the spirit like a foggy picture of a beautiful vista. But not today! The lens on the TG-7 features dual-pane protective glass to reduce fogging even in locations with severe temperature differences.
Into the blue
Do you feel the call of the sea? Don’t be held back on your ocean adventures anymore. The TG-7 has various underwater photography-specific functions to capture those blue moments just as they were when you experienced them.
Tough situations shouldn’t feel difficult.
The OM SYSTEM Tough TG-7 has been designed to make operating under challenging conditions easy. The placement of grip and camera controls ensures that you stay in control of the situation, not vice versa.
