Photography Skillset

Point and shoot - If you're not quite the expert yet or you're just getting started in the world of photography, the Olympus STYLUS Tough TG-4 will satisfy your needs.

Video skill level

Simple clips - As a videography noob, this Olympus STYLUS Tough TG-4 video camera should be sufficient for your needs.

Even though recording videos is a passion, you're not necessarily looking to go pro. You're content with making tweaks to a couple of settings to suit the shot you're about to take. The STYLUS Tough TG-4 is very accessible which makes it suitable for this.

Video Scenarios

Streaming video live is a great way to share your experiences and this camera from Olympus provides a couple of connectivity options to help you with this.

The Olympus STYLUS Tough TG-4, is a very competent option when it comes to recording occasions and related activities. Also, the presence of its built-in Image stabilizer does help with making your clips look smooth and steady.

Its always great to capture moments of delight at home or while spending time with family and friends on an outing. For this, the Olympus STYLUS Tough TG-4 is a great companion to have.

For your Video posts - This camera comes with an image stabilizer which reduces any wobbling in your recordings. In addition, the size of the image sensor (5.760x4.290 mm mm), helps with the actual quality of the recorded image. It also packs in Wi-Fi in this neat package.

Capture the thrills - Your escapades can be captured in multiple angles you would have skipped on with delicate cameras. This camera from Olympus has a good level of impact and splash protection for your needs.

Other Video needs

Slow motion recordings add an extra dimension of fun and entertainment. This camera comes with an in-built setting that enables this mode.

Breathtaking transitions such as rolling clouds or city lights can captured as a time-lapse using the Olympus's in-built intervalometer

Photo Scenarios

There are times when you just want to take simple but great photos of things around you without bothering too much about camera settings. For that purpose, the STYLUS Tough TG-4 is a really good choice. 

While taking those action shots during the day's event, you'll be aiming to keep your subject matter in sharp focus while they're in motion. The Auto Focus Tracking capability that comes with this camera helps with this.

The thrilling action of sports is filled with magical moments that shouldn't be missed. Which is why by taking the STYLUS Tough TG-4 for those games, you'll have a camera that can effectively track subjects in frame while they are in motion.

Taking photos while underwater is a lot of fun. You'll be able to bathe the subject of your photograph with the colours and hues only found when taking shots in an aquatic environment.

Sometimes while on sightseeing or on a tour, you can only observe things from a distance. Which is why the zoom capability on this camera comes in handy in that situation.

From ants to zebras, a camera for nature's mosaic needs to have a great image sensor which is why the 5.760x4.290 mm (mm) that comes with this model works well for this scenario. It comes with a Continuous Shooting Mode allowing you to take successive shots rapidly. Zoom capabilities are present as well which is great.

To capture mother nature in her full beauty requires a good eye and a camera that can adequately handle landscape scenarios. This model from Olympus is good fit as it's got the ability to focus on multiple parts of your picture frame.

Other considerations

Sometimes carrying cables about just so you can move your photos across the devices can be a pain. Good thing this particular model comes with Wi-Fi.

Underwater photography is beautiful and you'll want a camera able to handle such wet conditions. Good thing the Olympus STYLUS Tough TG-4 is waterproof up to a depth of 15 m metres.

Since this camera is certified as dust-proof, it does gives it at an added advantage over regular cameras. This way you can be rest assured the STYLUS Tough TG-4 will cater for your outdoor needs.

Style

The STYLUS Tough TG-4 comes in an unconventional package that stands out from the typical greys and blacks that are common with such devices.

Whether you want to blend in, or have a camera that doesn’t attract unwanted attention, the basic design of the STYLUS Tough TG-4 fits the bill.
