Support Measures for Industry Creators including Cinematographers and Photographers

Sony Corporation today announced that it will devote funds to organizations related to creative communities and inspect Sony cameras free of charge, as support measures for industry creators including cinematographers, camera operators, camera assistants, and digital imaging technicians as well as photographers impacted by COVID-19.     

There are two specific initiatives:

・Financial contribution to cinematographers and camera operators engaged in sports, filmmaking and scripted television and commercial production

・Complimentary maintenance service of camera system for Sony Imaging PRO Support members

The global outbreak of COVID-19 has impacted content creators in nearly every facet of the industry, as sporting and music events, movies and television filming, as well as weddings and events have been put on hold. These have had a significant disruption on the commercial activities of professionals who support these industries with photo and video production. Sony will support these creators to continue their activities.
