Hey, I've got an Olympus TG-5 that's great for casual freediving. I attach the FCON-T01 fisheye lens and mount the camera inside a GoPole Triad frame, which makes the whole setup much easier to hold. ...

My sister bought a G1, which she still owns.
Only last week, I bought a G85!

I have massive hands and stubby fingers, so sounds like the G85 is - again - a good match for me?

Hey, I'm a digital nomad and spend much of my year in Bali. I run a digital content agency and am interested in transitioning from writing adverts, to shooting adverts too. And - predictably - I ...

The conversion ring is outrageously cheap and delicate for both the price and as an accessory for a 'tough' camera. All 'tough' marketing goes out of the window when you're using the conversion ring.

Sadly my TG-5 was injured, so I bought another... and this one hasn't fogged on either of its first two freedive trips in Bali (Amed and Gili Air) - suggesting the flaw may be batch-specific? Here' ...

Am I correct in thinking the Olympus warranty is worldwide? I purchased my TG-5 in Australia, but am in Bali and will be in Britain in a few months. Can I action the return while in Britain? Postin ...

RAW Photos still usually sit in my Photos bank, I believe? I don't think I'm meant to require a Smart Album to see them. I think the issue is that MacOS and Photos haven't been updated with the ...

The fogging appears on the viewfinder, as several spots that grow and eventually cover the screen, when I'm using the camera around a warm swimming pool. What tips would you recommend?

I've now downloaded Adobe DNG converter and ran yesterday's 600 pictures through, which has worked great. I've set my TG-5 to RAW + JPEG mode. I now need to decide whether I give up on RAW until ...

Hey, I purchased an Olympus TG-5 camera in Sydney in January, shortly before heading to Bali, where I've been using it in the ocean and pool. I use MacOS Photos to store my pictures on my MacBook ...

Fogging appeared again yesterday :-( when playing with the TG-5 in a particularly warm Balinese swimming pool, with a glass bottom cliff-overhang :-) To be fair, I've heard rice isn't a fantastic ...

I opened the camera up, removed the battery and SD card and left them all sealed in a bag of rice. I then opened the bag and quickly popped them all back together. Thus-far, it doesn't appear to be ...

I'm from Britain and purchased my TG-5 around one month ago, in Australia. I used it for a number of free dives and it worked great, typically at between depths of five and 10 metres. I'm now in ...

Hey, I'm very close to buying an Olympus TG5 and matching fisheye lens, for shallow freedive and surf photography. I'm also interested in fitting a dome directly to the camera, for over/under shots. ...

Yeah I've spent a lot of time thinking and reading, and got a quote back for an Ikelite case with a recommended lens and case for around $1,000 USD. It just doesn't make sense, I feel. I'm aware ...

Sony RX100 looks nice and is only $50 AUD more than the TG-5. However, the housing is nearly $400, so you're actually looking at over $1,000 and nearly twice the price of the TG-5. Plus, the appeal ...

And if I'm not mistaken, the Olympus TG-5 and Panasonic G85 (predecessor to G9) Ikelite cases use different ports? if that's the case, then it's any easy decision not to buy a housing for the TG-5. ...

Thanks for your help. I've concluded that I'll buy the TG-5 to fit into the frame with the GoPro, for a great grab-and-go action sports setup. I might even buy the TG-5 fisheye lens (cheaper than ...

(1) Bump! :)
