Best-in-class image quality
Ultimate adventures often involve the most challenging lighting conditions. From arctic twilight to the undersea world, the ability to deal with low light in particular is the key to a great image. A new image sensor with superb high-speed and high-sensitivity performance combined with the latest TruePic VIII image processor taken from our flagship system camera gives better image quality than before with enhanced dynamic range and improved response time.
Field sensor system

Extreme shifts in temperature can cause condensation on lenses. The TG-5 prevents this with dual-pane protective glass, meaning you can keep shooting regardless.

The accessory lock button prevents attached accessories, such as a fisheye converter, teleconverter, light guide or flash diffuser from falling off so that you can feel safe carrying the camera with accessories.
Control dial/Zoom lever
The TG-5’s zoom lever construction has been modified allowing you to operate the camera while wearing gloves and skiing on steep slopes. Plus a new control dial has been added, making it easy to adjust shooting settings such as exposure compensation.
Grid display for stable framing
