Olympus Stylus Tough

Waterproof, Shockproof, Freezeproof, Olympus Digital Cameras - Take it with you where the Action is!

The Stylus TOUGH-8000 and Stylus TOUGH-6000 – Action Heroes!

Olympus’ unique range of waterproof, shockproof and freeze proof TOUGH cameras has grown with the addition of the 12 Megapixel Stylus TOUGH-8000 and the 10 Megapixel Stylus TOUGH-6000. Both models feature 3.6x wide zoom lenses, great for taking awesome wide-angle photos of rugged terrain and for zooming in on the distant bits that you can’t get to! Blur caused by camera shake is virtually eradicated on the two new TOUGHS, thanks to Dual Image Stabilization and, as both cameras feature TAP Control, they can be operated by simply tapping on their casings – very handy if you’re wearing ski gloves. The Stylus TOUGH-8000 and Stylus TOUGH-6000 let you take extremely good photos in extreme conditions, and enjoy the experience.  

Shockproof and Waterproof

The new top-of-the-range Stylus TOUGH-8000, is hard as nails and perfect for those who want to push things to their limits. It’s waterproof to 10m*** , shockproof to falls from up to 2m** , freeze proof down to temperatures as low as -10°C and crushproof to weights of up to 100kg**** . Fellow newcomer, the Stylus TOUGH-6000 is no wimp either. As well as being freeze proof, this model is waterproof to 3m*** and impervious to drops from up to 1.5m** . 

3.6X Optical Zoom

Both models inherit the versatile 3.6x wide optical zoom first seen on the EISA Award winning Olympus Stylus 1030 SW. Starting at 28mm* wide-angle, fantastic for landscapes and architectural photos, this lens zooms up to a useful 102mm* , which is ideal for concentrating on more distant subjects. And Dual Image Stabilization significantly reduces image blur caused by camera shake, even when the Stylus TOUGH-8000 and Stylus TOUGH-6000 are being used in challenging situations, such as being buffeted by the waves. 

10 and 12 Megapixels for big enlargements

Being tough doesn’t mean that the new models aren’t sensitive. The Stylus TOUGH-8000 and Stylus TOUGH-6000 are packed with features that make beautiful photos a cert. And, with 12 and 10 Megapixels resolution respectively, results can be enlarged as big as you wish.

Face Detection

Capable of recognizing up to 3 faces, the Stylus TOUGH-8000’s Face Detection Technology guarantees that human subjects are always perfectly focused and exposed. The Stylus TOUGH-6000, which boasts Advanced Face Detection Technology, goes one better and can detect up to 16 faces. It also has a handy Smile Shot feature which automatically takes the picture as soon as the subject smiles and, for even happier results, Beauty Mode can retouch their skin as the shot is being taken, removing lines and wrinkles for a smooth glowing complexion. 

Shadow Adjustment

To further improve picture quality Shadow Adjustment Technology has been included to boost shadow detail that would otherwise be lost. And for the ultimate in photography convenience, Intelligent Auto Mode analyses the image being photographed and matches it to one of five commonly-used scene modes, automatically selecting the best choice. 

LCD Screen Tap Control Menus

As an alternative to the intuitive on-screen menus displayed on their 6.9cm/2.7” Hyper Crystal III LCD screens, the Stylus TOUGH-8000 and Stylus TOUGH-6000 also feature Tap Control. This allows fast access to a range of settings simply by tapping the camera body – even when wearing gloves, such as when skiing.
