Corals at the private beach of Banyan Tree Samui by Olympus STYLUS TG-3 Tough

My first Olympus camera is TG-3 Tough. I bought it because my friends recommended it. It is very tough as it has not only waterproof and shock protection but also macro function. I used to go mountain to climb. I asked good camera for climbing mountain to my friends. Their answer was TG-3.

Corals at the private beach of Banyan Tree Samui by Olympus STYLUS TG-3 Tough

Following pictures were taken by Olympus STYLUS TG-3 Tough. I used macro mode for those corals.

I am satisfied with TG-3 basically except for its support format. Stupidly TG-3 doesn’t support RAW file format. I have to take JPEG picture for those macro photos. One more thing what I am not satisfied with is "Depth of field”. Because a depth of field is very limited, a part of a object is blur in many cases. To overcome this, new versions of Tough such as TG-4 or TG-5 support Focus Stacking function. It is very nice as it takes pictures by changing focus point gradually and compose them to support deeper field. Please see the Olympus page for further information.
