Waterproof Case for TG (PT-059) Rental in Japan

Product Summary:

The Olympus PT-059 Waterproof Case is an essential accessory for tourists in Japan who wish to extend the underwater capabilities of their Tough TG-6 camera. While the TG-6 is waterproof up to 15 meters on its own, this robust housing increases the water pressure resistance depth to an impressive 45 meters.

This case is perfect for serious snorkeling, scuba diving, and deep-water photography, allowing you to capture the vibrant marine life and submerged artifacts of Japan’s coastlines, particularly around islands like Okinawa.

Quick Highlights:

• Compatibility: Specifically designed for the Olympus Tough TG-6 digital camera.
• Maximum Depth: Increases waterproof rating to 45 meters (147 feet).
• Design: Black finish prevents unwanted reflections in underwater shots.
• Professional Use: Required for scuba diving beyond recreational limits.
• Includes all necessary maintenance items like O-ring, silicone grease, and silica gel.

Product Details / Description:

For divers and underwater photography enthusiasts, the PT-059 case is a non-negotiable accessory. It ensures the longevity of your TG-6 camera while dramatically expanding your photographic potential in the deeper waters surrounding Japan. The housing provides full access to the camera’s controls, allowing you to use all the specialized underwater modes of the TG-6.

About the Product

The case’s black finish helps minimize light leakage and reflections that could compromise image quality underwater. Its durable construction is designed to withstand the high pressures of deep diving, protecting your camera investment.

When the PT-059 case is attached, the camera’s built-in field sensor system (GPS, depth, temperature) will not function correctly. Please remember to set the log lever on the camera body to OFF before use with the housing.

Faqs:

Is the PT-059 case easy to attach and remove from the TG-6?

Yes, the case is designed for secure, yet manageable, attachment. However, maintenance is critical: you must ensure the O-ring is clean and properly lubricated with the included silicone grease before every use to maintain the 45-meter waterproof seal. An O-ring remover is included for safe handling.

Can I use an external underwater flash with this case?

Yes, the PT-059 includes an Optical Cable Adapter. This allows you to connect compatible external underwater strobes (flashes) via fiber optic cable, greatly improving the lighting and color accuracy of your deep-water photos.

What happens if I forget to turn off the field sensor log function?

If the log lever is set to ON, the case will interfere with the camera’s internal sensors (GPS, barometer, compass), causing them to display incorrect or erratic data. While this will not harm the camera, your location and depth data will be inaccurate for that dive. Always turn the log function OFF when using the PT-059.

Are there any other accessories I should consider renting with this case?

While we do not rent the conversion lenses mentioned (PTWC-01 and PTMC-01), we highly recommend renting a floating wrist or neck strap for the housing. This prevents the camera from sinking if you accidentally lose your grip during a dive or snorkel.
