Anti-Fog

The TG-7's lens is equipped with dual-pane protective glass, minimising fogging in environments with significant temperature variations. This is ideal when shooting in water, during sunrise or sunset when the air is moist and even while you're wearing a mask, or enjoying a hot drink.

A brighter lens

Experience the world through a superior lens with a 4x wide optical zoom and an aperture range from f/2.0 to f/4.9. The brighter lens means more light for better pictures, even in challenging situations when it’s darker. The bright aperture also enables you to shoot at faster shutter speeds with reduced noise.
