OM System LG-1 LED Light for Tough Cameras

Quick answer

Attach the OM System LG-1 LED to your TG-series camera to get even, shadow-free illumination for macro and underwater shots.

How to set up and use the LG-1 LED

1. Attach the LED to your TG camera: Slide the LG-1 onto the front of the camera body until it clicks. It fits the TG-1 through TG-7 models. Make sure the camera is off when attaching to avoid accidental button presses.
2. Power on and adjust brightness: Press the power button on the LG-1. Use the brightness control to match your scene — lower for close subjects, higher for more distance or darker water. Start at medium brightness and adjust; max brightness drains the battery faster.
3. Choose your shooting mode: Set the camera to Aperture Priority (A) or Manual (M) for full control. The LG-1 works as a constant light, so you can see the effect in real time. In very dark conditions, use a tripod or increase ISO to avoid blur from slow shutter speeds.
4. Position for macro shots: Hold the camera so the LED points at the subject from a 45-degree angle or straight on. This minimizes shadows on small details like flower petals or insect eyes. If shadows appear, move the camera slightly to change the light angle — the LED is fixed to the lens.
5. Use underwater with care: The LG-1 is water-resistant and designed for use with TG-series cameras in shallow water. Attach it before entering the water and keep the O-rings clean. Rinse the LED with fresh water after saltwater use to prevent corrosion.
