OM System Tough TG-7 Compact Action Camera Red in More Detail
Waterproof and tough
The OM System TG-7 is waterproof down to 15m (50ft) thanks to its double-lock construction and seals. This allows you to capture content underwater at dive depths, whilst snorkelling, swimming and surfing or sailing. If you simply want to dunk the camera in a stream while fishing or hiking, just use the snapshot mode and capture brilliant results with great colours.
Shockproof
The TG-7 action camera is designed to withstand drops of up to 2.1m, thanks to its advanced protective construction. Whether you’ve dropped it from a bike, while chasing the dog on a walk, or during epic marathons, the TG-7 won’t let you down.
Freeze-proof
The OM System TG-7 action camera is ready for action even in cold temperatures, with freeze-proof performance down to -10°C. Capture your buddies flying down mountain sides or snowball fun in winter, it’s all possible with this lightweight model.
Dust-proof
The OM SYSTEM Tough TG-7 is dust-proof, ensuring your outdoor adventures are free from the intrusion of sand and dust, however harsh the environment.
Crushproof
This camera’s robust internal design enables it to withstand heavy loads of up to 100 kg, making it crushproof, so it’ll be fine even you can step on it by accident.
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.
Big in the right places
Achieve incredibly high image quality with the OM System Tough TG-7, through a combination of a high-resolution lens, a high-speed image sensor and the TruePic VIII image processor.
Anticipate any moment
With the incredible ProCapture feature you can capture a sequential burst of images at 10 fps from 0.5 seconds before you fully press down the shutter. This ensures you never miss a decisive moment and the camera stays one step ahead of even the quickest action.
Speed up time with time-lapse content
Enrich your content with beautiful 4K time-lapse movies, which are made by capturing photos at intervals for a long duration. Whatever your audience, they’ll be wowed with sensational time-lapse of anything from buildings being built to lapping waves and sunsets.
Live compositing
With Live Composite, capturing intricate star trail images becomes effortless, ensuring perfect exposure in every shot.
GPS location and other data
The TG-7 features a clever location and data logging mode, complete with a dedicated switch to ensure that your entire journey is accurately captured with location, temperature, water depth and compass direction.
Whether you want to return to a location, pinpoint where you were or share highlights with friends this is a must-have feature available through the OM Image Share app, which are typically reserved for dedicated accessories and high-end cameras.
Focus Bracketing for pin sharp results
Utilise focus bracketing to capture up to 30 images with slight shifts in the focal position at various focus points. This allows you to gain pin sharp focus on anything from tiny macro shots to epic wide landscapes, which can be stitched together in post processing.
Focus stacking mode will automatically stitch together between 3 and 10 images in-camera, making it easy to create front to back sharp results without any editing.
Remember and share every step of your journey
The TG-7 features built-in WiFi and Bluetooth, as well as a whole array of field sensors that add another layer of interest to your photos. These can be logged by switching a single lever and help you to recreate your journey at a later stage.
Record stunning 4K movies
Explore an array of video features including stunning 4K quality at 30p, as well as 120fps high-speed shooting in Full HD, and the option for vertical video for when you need to fit more in the frame vertically.
In standard definition you can record video at up to 480fps to capture any high speed action for subsequent slow motion playback.
Microscope Control
Dive into the world of macro photography by capturing magnified images of subjects as close as 1cm from your lens to showcase incredible details in the world around. Whether shooting above water or below, microscope modes highlight incredible details in the world around.
Microscope control mode offers simple adjustments to magnification from 1x, 2x and 4x, through to an incredible 44x equivalent magnification when combined with the zoom lever. Whatever the size of your subject the TG-7 is able to capture beautiful details with sharp results.
Versatility meets expandability

It comes with new and improved features for all sorts of content creation, with easy auto modes and more advanced shooting in RAW for post processing and editing.
Specialised construction modes
The OM System Tough TG-7 camera features specialised construction modes, which are tailor made for construction professionals. Whether capturing time-lapse of a dark building site or documents and details, construction modes have you covered.
Underwater photography
The TG-7 excels both underwater and on land, producing stunning images and videos up to a depth of 15m (50ft) below the water's surface, without the need for an additional waterproof case.
Underwater Modes
Underwater, light behaves differently. With the TG-7 you can choose between shallow, mid, or deep settings to ensure correct colour balance through five different unerwater modes. You can even switch to manual mode for complete control over the lighting conditions and come away with breathtaking results.
Underwater Wide Mode
The Underwater Wide Mode allows you to capture subjects like manta rays, angelfish, reefs, and wrecks with exceptional clarity and sharpness, even in low-light underwater conditions.
Underwater HDR shots
Underwater HDR mode is a valuable feature that captures multiple images at different exposures and blends them to enhance dynamic range, preserving details in both bright and dark areas of your underwater shots.
Along with these, underwater creators have underwater microscope mode, snapshot mode for shallow water and macro mode for close-ups.
Underwater Accessories
Take underwater photography to new heights with two optional lenses. They are a small part of a comprehensive system of accessories that raise your level of underwater photography.
Underwater Housing
The Tough TG-7 doesn’t need any housing down to 15m, but if you want to photograph sea life at deeper depths, you’ll need the PT-059 Underwater Case, which is waterproof down to 45m.
