Key Advantages
The TG-620 excels in durability and environmental resistance, making it perfect for adventure and underwater photography up to 3 meters deep. Its compact and lightweight design ensures portability without sacrificing ruggedness. The 12-megapixel resolution combined with a 5x optical zoom lens provides clear and flexible imaging options. The inclusion of full HD video recording enhances its multimedia capabilities. User-friendly features such as scene modes, smile detection, and anti-shake technology improve overall shooting experience.
