The perfect camera for learning underwater photography

One of the easiest cameras for underwater photography

Advanced Macro features far beyond other compact cameras

Waterproof to 15 meters for extra protection within a deeper housing

The OM SYSTEM Tough TG-7 Waterproof Compact Action Camera captures 12 megapixel photos and 4K Video with easy shooting modes for on land and more importantly underwater.

The Tough series of cameras are designed to be rugged and durable. Waterproof to a depth of 15 meters the camera is well suited to use in watersports. If you are SCUBA diving or free diving we recommend that you invest in one of the compatible Dive Housings for the TG-7 which allow you dive deeper, improve the ergonomics and allow you to add essential underwater photography accessories.

One of the easiest cameras for underwater photography the TG-7 has 5 pre-set underwater modes which are great for when you are first getting into underwater photography. The pre-set modes take care of the more complicated settings so that you can focus on buoyancy and composition.

As your underwater photography skill develop the TG-7 continues to support you letting you take more control over settings that will allow you to improve your underwater photography. All of the dive housings that we supply allow you to attach wet lenses, necessary for wide-angle photography; trays and handles which give you a better grip and provide mounting points for underwater strobes. The TG-7 really excels at underwater macro with its advanced macro features letting you get incredibly close to small subjects to capture fantastic detail without the need for multiple close-up diopters.

Advanced Macro Features

By far our favourite camera for Macro with advanced features far beyond what you would expect in its price range.

The TG-7's macro modes are not just impressive, they make Macro photographer accessible and fun for all.

Underwater photographers particularly love how they can achieve incredible macro images in a travel friendly system when paired with a few underwater accessories.

Peace Of Mind

Waterproof to 15 meters

Shooting around water is not a worry with the TG-7 and its built in water proofing to as deep as 15 meters and dedicated underwater modes.

For SCUBA divers and many freedivers 15 meters is not deep enough so we recommend the addition of a proper Dive housing which will be much easier to operate and it more practical in the water. But that 15 meter waterproofing still gives you peace of mind should there be an accident with the housing.

OM & AOI Ecosystem

Dare to Dive Deeper with Accessories

A range of accessories from OM-Systems and underwater specialist AOI support the TG-7 if you want to go deeper than the 15 meter depth rating. Specialist Housings,

Point & Shoot Simplicity

Dedicated Underwater Modes

The TG-7 has 5 Preset underwater shooting modes which are great if you are new to underwater photography and don't want to be messing around with adjusting settings

Underwater Snapshot is easy to use snorkelling or around the surface
Underwater Wide has your go to underwater settings (works best with a wide-angle lens)
Underwater Macro for small fish and large nudis
Underwater Microscope for the smallest subjects
Underwater HDR to capture underwater light rays and fill in shadows

Recommended Housings for the OM Systems TG-7

The TG-7 is only waterproof to 15 meters which is great if you are shooting around water but if you are SCUBA diving or freediving you will need a proper Underwater Housing to go deeper. The Housing will also be much more ergonomical in the water and provides mounting points to add wet lenses, underwater strobe lights and handles.

OM-System Housing

The PT-059 Housing is also available to purchase as part of a package with the camera, an AOI wide-angle wet lens and other accessories.

Our Favourite Accessories for the OM Systems TG-7

OLYMPUS FD-1 Flash Diffuser for TG Cameras

£49.99

OM Flash Diffuser

The OM System Flash Diffuser for TOUCH cameras uses the camera's in-built flash to create a uniform circular ring of light, evenly lighting close-up subjects for spectacular macro photography.

Like the camera, the diffuser is waterproof to a depth of 15 meters. Compatible with TG-7/6/5/4

OM SYSTEM CHS-09 Floating Handstrap for TG Cameras

£26.99

Floating Handstrap

Secure your TG-7 to your wrist, arm, life jacket or harness. For added security when you are shooting around the water the strap will float giving you a better change to retrieve your camera in the event it is dropped into the water.

For SCUBA we recommend using a Coil Lanyard to secure the Housing to your BCD/Wing/Harness rather than a floating strap.

OLYMPUS LB-T01 LENS BARRIER TG-6

£39.99

Lens Barrier

Protect your TG-7's lens from dirt or scratches with this lens barrier. The barrier attached directly to the camera to create a window that can be easily opened and closed whilst remaining in place so you dont loose it in your pocket while you are shooting.

OM SYSTEM Battery Charger UC-92

£54.99

Dive All Day

The TG-7 ships with a USB-C charging cable for in-camera charging. This external charger lets you charge up your spare battery while your camera is in the housing.

OM System Battery Pack Li92B for TG-7

£49.99

Spare Battery

We highly recommend adding a spare battery so that you can keep shooting for longer. To make the most of the spare battery it is also recommended to add the external charger
