Olympus Sponsorship Deal with Power Maxed Racing gives Photographers opportunity to go behind the scenes at BTCC Rounds
Olympus has announced their sponsorship agreement with Power Maxed Racing team in this years British Touring Car Championship, offering a unique opportunity to capture the action and experience working as a pro sport photographer.
Known for their educational and inspiring events and workshops – often with a creative twist to provide attendees with a unique experience – Olympus have gone a step further by announcing a series of events at all 10 British Touring Car Championship races throughout the UK in 2019.
Celebrating their centenary, the company kicked the year off with the launch of their latest camera, the OM-D E-M1X, to offer professional photographers enhanced reliability and performance. The sponsorship announcement perfectly compliments the new camera as the ‘X‘ packs an array of new features ideal for shooting fast movement.
Olympus are inviting professionals along to the events for an opportunity to test the latest features of the E-M1X including a new intelligent subject detection feature which allows the AF system to automatically detect specific subjects (motorsports, airplanes, trains), focusing and tracking the optimal area, so that users can fully concentrate on the composition.
