Canon to support news media at Tokyo 2020 Games, releases photos of on-location service center aiming for "Zero Downtime"

As a Gold Partner (Still Camera and Desktop Printer) of the Olympic and Paralympic Games Tokyo 2020 (henceforth, Tokyo 2020 Games), Canon has established a photo service center for photographers—the largest such facility of the event—within the Main Press Center (MPC), where members of the international press gather.

At the photo service center, with the aim of realizing "Zero Downtime," Canon will provide speedy maintenance service, equipment repairs and loaning of replacement equipment during repair wait times to ensure that photographers don't miss their chance at capturing decisive moments of this intense competition due to equipment trouble.

Check out these photos of Canon's professional photographer support booth, which is ordinarily off-limits to visitors!

  • At the photo service center, strong action will be taken to ensure that photographers who visit the booth and the staff working there are safe and secure, and that the booth is operated as a safe and thoroughly protected environment.
