Questions & Answers

SYUCK S : Does it work on the TG-7?
MICHAEL P : Does this fit TG-6?richard R : Yes
Matt W : Does the Olympus LED light guide for the TG-3 work underwater as well?CONG H C : Hi, Sorry, I have not tried using this flash underwater... probably will not be for a while longer.SUSAN B : The answer is "no" it does not work underwater. This is NOT explained in the sales materials and is very disappointing.KIM M : I have not tried the LED attachment underwater myself, I have used the macro setting in a pool where light was not a problem and it worked fine. I don't see why it would not work.STEPHEN G : It barely have enough power out of the water, so, I never tried it underwater. It is not a true "ring flash."ROLAND T : yeah it can be used (or left attached to the TGs) underwater, but in redirecting the weak oncamera flash to around the lens, it looses some light already. Underwater, it would be too weak to do much as water will further disperse and weaken the flash. To be honest I've NOT tried it underwater, but I think Olympus's own warnimg that the results would be "undesirable" is accurate and correct. It is however, very useful above water for "super macro mode" shooting, literally only a few cm away from your subject , when the camera body itself blocks light reaching the subject.AARON B : There is no reason it shouldn't. But, it states that it isn't for use with the flash(the reason I bought it). I wanted even lighting when on super macro. The thing is also cheaper plastic than the camera, which is superbly build. So if you dropped it or dinged it underwater it might break off the camera. I don't think it is worth the price, and I will probably mod it with a warm white diode as a sort of ring light when I am doing close up work when dry. That said, there might be other ways to use it, I haven't combed through the manual completely since I own other Olympus Cameras. One final tip: Learn where the focal points are underwater. Many more of your shots will come out that way. My first adventure was mostly out of focus.ERIC L : Yes it does... It operates not with any lamp itself, it simply uses a mirror to redirect the flash's light through the circular attachment. No electricity or anything actually transmits to the attachment.CHARLES S : While I have not used the lightguide underwater, there is no reason why it should not work underwater. The lightguide attaches the same way as the telephoto converter and the wide angle lenses attach. The LED light is integral to the camera. Thus, everything should be water tight.

This did not perform well

This did not perform well. Not enough light from the flash is generated and the ring does not distribute it well. shots come out dark and not evenly lit.

I Keep It On the Camera

I keep it on my TG-4 so it is always handy for that close up where the camera casts a shadow on the subject, or the light is low.

Olympus T-4 ring lighy

Very well made, fits perfectly. Have only tested as it's too early for flower and insects here, but with focus stacking it is a winner.

I Keep It On the Camera

By Susan H.

I keep it on my TG-4 so it is always handy for that close up where the camera casts a shadow on the subject, or the light is low.

Before you embark on your next photography adventure, consider the Olympus LG-1 LED Light Guide, a versatile and high-quality accessory specifically designed for the Stylus Tough TG-1, TG-2, TG-3, TG-4, and TG-5 digital cameras. This innovative light guide mimics the effect of a ring flash, traditionally used with interchangeable lens cameras for true close-up shots, to prevent shadow casting on your subject.

The LG-1 LED Light Guide leverages your camera's built-in LED light to evenly illuminate your subject, enhancing your camera's macro photography capabilities. This bright and reliable accessory is perfect for those seeking to capture detailed images of small objects, making it an ideal choice for internet sellers or macro photography enthusiasts.

Engineered for seamless compatibility, the LG-1 attaches directly to the front of the TG-1, TG-2, TG-3, TG-4, and TG-5 Tough cameras. Its durable design allows it to remain on the camera even when underwater, although it is not primarily recommended as an underwater lighting accessory. Experience the difference that the Olympus LG-1 LED Light Guide can make in your photography, delivering consistently great results in various lighting conditions.
