Panasonic Supports a New Photo Project for the Upcoming Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Through LUMIX as The Official Digital Camera of the Olympics

NEWARK, N.J., Sept. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Panasonic Corporation, a worldwide Olympic and Paralympic partner, announced today that the company is launching a special photography project through its LUMIX S Series full-frame Digital Single Lens Mirrorless camera system for the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020.

In accordance with the Olympic Games philosophy, Panasonic has supported the tournament for over a quarter of a century as the highest ranking sponsor in "The Olympic Partner (TOP)" program.

As part of this commitment, Panasonic is supporting a series of projects shot by Adam Pretty, a world-renowned sports photographer for Getty Images using a LUMIX S Series camera system. The first project is titled "Make it Luminous." The athlete's ultimate motion across the practices of sprinting, high jump and judo which cannot be tracked by the naked eye are visualized with the afterimage of light by attaching light emitting devices such as LED to sports equipment or an athlete's body. Capturing the track of light drawn by each athlete's performance, the LUMIX S Series camera system depicts an unprecedented performance and expectation that will be unveiled at Tokyo 2020. More projects will follow through 2020.

Panasonic, with its state-of-the-art technology and solutions, will continue to "share the passion" and excitement of the Games with people worldwide.
