The following table describes how close you can move the TG-6 to a subject keeping the picture in focus:

Shooting Mode	Shooting Range (from the lens to the subject)
Standard	from 0.1 m to infinity
Super Macro AF / MF	from 0.01 m to 0.3 m
Microscope	from 0.01 m to 0.3 m

Super Macro AF / MF
You can take pictures as close as 0.01 m to 0.3 m from the lens to the subject if you set the AF mode to Super Macro AF or Super Macro MF in P, A and Movie mode.

Underwater mode enables you to take underwater pictures in appropriate settings by selecting a sub mode best suited for the subject or scene. The TG-6 camera is waterproof up to depths of 15 meters without a separate sold underwater housing.



Turn the mode dial to  (Underwater mode) for underwater photography. Select the appropriate shooting mode from  (Underwater Snapshot),  (Underwater Wide),  (Underwater Macro) and  (Underwater Microscope) and  (Underwater HDR) using the arrow pad Right and Left button or the control dial.

When the mode dial is already set to  (Underwater mode), press the arrow pad Left button to select other sub modes.

Available Underwater modes:

Sub mode	Description
Underwater Snapshot	Optimized for underwater photography that uses natural light. (e.g. in swimming pools or shallow waters)
Underwater Wide	Suitable for shooting underwater in dim light, optimizing flash mode, auto focus and white balance for the appropriate settings.
Underwater Macro	Suitable for shooting close-up view underwater.
Underwater Microscope	This mode enables you to take pictures as close as 1 cm.
Underwater HDR	Suitable for contrasting underwater scenes. This mode captures multiple images and merges them into one, properly exposed image. This mode may not function well for shooting a fast moving subject.

Note:

• The camera should not be used underwater exceeding 60 minutes or at depths that exceed 15 meters.
• For using the camera at the depths exceeding 15 meters, use the underwater housing PT059 (sold separately) that protects the camera down to depths of 45 meters. Sensor systems such as GPS and atmosphere pressure do not operate correctly while using the underwater housing.

 (Microscope mode) lets you shoot from as close as 1cm and as close as 30 cm to your subject. You can shoot images with long depth of field, and perform focus bracket shooting with setting the number of shots. (In normal shooting mode like P mode, you can shoot from 10 cm at the closest distance.)


Turn the mode dial to  (Microscope mode). Select the appropriate sub mode from Microscope, Focus Stacking, Focus Bracketing and Microscope Control.
When the mode dial is already set to  (Microscope mode), press the arrow pad Left button to select other sub modes.
 

Available Microscope modes:

Sub Mode	Description
Microscope	This mode lets you shoot from as close as 1 cm to your subject. You can shoot with shooting magnification of 7x (35 mm equivalent) when using the optical zoom.
Focus Stacking	The camera shoots a number of images, automatically shifting the focus in each image. The images are combined into a composite image with a large depth of field. Two images are recorded; the first frame and the composite image. The number of frames per shot and waiting time can be set after selecting in the sub mode . In  (Shooting menu 2), select Focus Stacking Settings The following settings are available: - Waiting time before the photographing starts can be selected from 0 to 30 seconds. - Number of shots can be selected from 3 to 10 frames. Creating a composite image may not be possible due to camera shake or moving subjects.
Focus BKT (Focus Bracketing)	The camera shoots a number of images, automatically shifting the focus in each image. The waiting time, number of shots and focus steps can be set after selecting  in the sub mode. In  (Shooting menu 2), select Focus BKT. The following settings are available: - Waiting time before the photographing starts can be set from 0 to 30 seconds. - Number of shots can be selected from 10, 20 and 30. - Focus steps can be selected from Wide, Normal and Narrow.
Microscope Control	Optimized for close-ups with the subject magnified on the monitor. You can change the magnification level to 1x, 2x or 4x by pressing the arrow pad Right button. Up to 44.4x (35 mm equivalent: 28x) is possible when using the zoom simultaneously. For example, when shooting from as close as 1 cm to the subject, a 1 mm subject can be magnified to up to 44 mm on the monitor. At high magnification levels, the image may become grainy. For using the flash or LED light in Microscope Control, press the [OK] button to display the Live Control and select the flash setting with the arrow pad Up and Down button.

Note:

• Shooting distance in Microscope mode is from 1 cm to 30 cm.
• The use of tripod is recommended for shooting in Focus Stacking or Focus BKT.

Accessories (sold separately) useful for shooting in Microscope mode:

Useful accessories (sold separately) are available to utilize the built-in flash or LED illuminator of the TG-6 for shooting in Microscope mode.

• Flash Diffuser FD-1
  
  
  
  FD-1 is useful for macro shooting or taking pictures of insects in a low-light environment. Improved light distribution makes it possible to darken the background and make the subject stand out better.
  
  The FD-1 can be used under water.
  
   
• LED Light Guide LG-1
  
  
  
  LG-1 uses the camera's built-in LED light to evenly illuminate a subject to avoid shadows on the subject. The LG-1 cannot be used under water.

	LED Light Guide LG-1	Flash Diffuser FD-1
Compatible Cameras	TG-6, TG-5, TG-4, TG-3, TG-2, TG-1	TG-6, TG-5, TG-4* (*Firmware update is required for the TG-4)
Light Source	Built-in LED light	Built-in flash
Shooting Distance	1 - 10 cm *The distance from the lens front	2 - 30 cm *The distance from the lens front
Underwater Usage	Not usable	Usable
Light Control	Not available	Available * 2 light volumes can be selected on the FD-1:  (Normal) and  (Low)

LED Light Guide LG-1

The LED Light Guide LG-1 uses the LED on the front of the camera to illuminate your subject.
In addition to lighting your subject while the image is taken, the LG-1 also assists in composing your image, as the constant light source illuminates the subject. When using the LG-1 the camera's closest focusing distance is 1 cm, allowing the camera to lay flat on the subject and still focus.

Flash Diffuser FD-1

The Flash Diffuser FD-1 uses the in-camera flash to illuminate your subject.
The in-camera flash offers a significant increase in the amount of light. This increase in light allows for usage of lower ISO settings and faster shutter speeds, as well as an increased working distance. The FD-1 can also be utilized under water. The camera's closest focusing distance to the subject is 2cm.

When using the FD-1

• To use the Light Control on TG-4, update the firmware of your camera.
• You can attach the FD-1 to the TG-3, TG-2 and TG-1 camera, but results may vary because the firmware does not support these products.

Converter lens adapter CLA-T01:

The converter lens adapter CLA-T01 (sold separately) is required to attach the Teleconverter TCON-T01 or Fisheye converter FCON-T01 to the TG-6. You can also use the converter lens adapter CLA-T01 to attach a 40.5 mm lens filter that is 6 mm thick or less.

Before attaching the CLA-T01 to the TG-6, remove the lens ring from the camera.

Note:

• A lens cap is included with the CLA-T01.
• The lens ring on the TG-6 is only cosmetic and has no effect on the waterproof or dustproof ability of the camera.

How to attach or remove the lens ring:

1. To remove the lens ring, rotate the lens ring in the remove direction (to the left) while pressing down the remove button ().
2. To attach the lens ring, align the white circle marks on the camera and lens ring, and then rotate the lens ring to the right until you hear a click. Do not press the remove button while attaching the lens ring.

How to attach a conversion lens / filter using the CLA-T01

• * You can attach and remove the CLA-T01 in the same procedure as attaching or removing a lens ring.

Note:

• Filters cannot be attached directly to the camera.
• When a filter that is 6 mm thick or more is attached, vignetting may occur in the corners of the images. In that case, use a thin mount or slim type of filter instead.
• The image quality when using a filter is not guaranteed.
• A filter and a Fisheye converter FCON-T01 / FCON-T02 cannot be used simultaneously.

Yes, you can print the date and time on your pictures.
When the pictures are taken with the Date Stamp function set to On, the date and time is imprinted on the captured pictures.
