µTough Series of compact digital cameras feature a waterproof, shockproof and freezeproof design that assures reliable, high-quality shooting under conditions that ordinary cameras would be unable to endure, such as underwater or in cold winter conditions. From the tranquil to the turbulent, whatever the conditions, whatever the situation, this camera assures great results, giving users the opportunity to expand their enjoyment of photography.
Waterproof to a depth of 3 metres*1 this dustproof*2 camera is perfect for the poolside or the beach. It can even be safely used while participating in water sports such as surfing or water skiing. The camera's rigid structure has been drop-tested to a height of 1.5 metres*3, ensuring that it can stand up to the shocks and impacts it may encounter during outdoor activity or camping, and can be handled safely by children. And, with operation guaranteed in environments as cold as -10°C*4, this camera is equally suited for winter sports like skiing and mountaineering. Ready to stand up to just about anything including water, sand, dirt, impact and cold, this camera is the ideal all-season, all-purpose camera.
CCD-shift image stabilization was previously thought to be incompatible with a shockproof camera, but Olympus was able to incorporate an effective image stabilization mechanism thanks to the development of an Olympus-original shock resistance mechanism that could be incorporated in the camera without increasing its size. Combining CCD-shift image stabilization with high-sensitivity shooting, Olympus's Dual Image Stabilization effectively prevents the image blur that can be caused by camera shake or subject movement, enabling worry-free shooting in extreme environments, whether on land or underwater.
The cover protecting the LCD against water pressure has an AR (Anti-Reflection) coating on both sides to prevent degradation of LCD visibility by reflections of direct sunlight. To prevent water damage, the multi-layer metallic AR coating is reinforced with a water-repellent coating, making the camera ideal for demanding outdoor activities such as skiing or snorkelling.
