Offering their services for free at the Canon Malaysia booth at the Putra World Trade Centre (PWTC), the company is affording professional photographers and filmmakers from the press exclusive access to on-the-spot repair of their images of the major event.
Canon Malaysia is also offering extensive equipment loans and expert technical support throughout the event, which runs from Dec 5 to 9.
“It’s an honour to see yet another major event where the press corps' talented and seasoned photographers capture exciting moments with Canon equipment.
"These images will be seen by millions of people around the world.
