The TG-6 is designed to withstand a wide variety of conditions, ranging from harsh climates to everyday mishaps:

• Waterproof-rated to IPX8 for use underwater to depths of 50' / 15m
• Freeze-proof to temperatures as low as 14°F / -10°C
• Shockproof to falls from 7' / 2.1m high
• Crush-proof to withstand up to 220 lbf / 100 kgf of pressure
• Dust proof-rated to IP6X to protect the internal components of the camera

Also benefiting the camera's use outdoors, the lens has been sealed with double-pane glass to prevent fogging and condensation. The camera body design has been configured to permit direct operation while wearing gloves, included a large zoom lever, accessory lock button, and convenient dial control.
