    The Tough Lite 850SW is the second-generation model in the Tough series, giving busy families the confidence to share a stylish camera with children without worry.

    The Tough Lite 850SW inherits the rugged characteristics of the Tough series. Shockproof to 1.5 metres, Waterproof to a depth of 3 metres and Snowproof to -10°C, it is an ideal camera to keep up with the kids at the beach, around the pool, as well as for family camping trips, hiking, skiing and other outdoor situations in which users may encounter mud, sand, impact, or temperature extremes.

    Face-Detect and Shadow Adjustment Technology work together to detect subjects' faces and automatically adjusts focus and exposure to ensure that both the foreground subject and background scenery are exposed effectively. Together with the Tough Lite 850SW's 8-megapixel CCD and exclusive Olympus TruePic III image processor, this camera ensures the highest possible image quality in virtually any situation.

    Shockproof, Waterproof, and Snowproof operation guaranteed to -10°C

    The Tough Lite 850SW packs rugged Tough series performance in a compact and stylish body. Capable of surviving 1.5 metre drop-impact tests, it is ideally suited to outdoor use. It is also waterproof to a depth of three metres to enable supreme confidence in a variety of outdoor scenarios, particularly around the children. The camera is guaranteed to operate at temperatures as low as -10°C and thanks to this cold-weather shooting capability, the Tough Lite 850SW allows photographers to capture the moment while out skiing, snowboarding or mountain climbing.
