About the event
Join Sony Australia for the 2019 Alpha Test Drive. This is your chance to get hands on with all current Sony E-Mount Alpha cameras and lenses including the newly announced 200-600mm G lens & 600mm G Master lens.
This session focuses on Outdoor Portrait Photography where you’ll have the opportunity to shoot two professional models at an outdoor location. As you explore the current Sony camera range, Sony’s Digital Imaging Specialists will be at your call to provide expert camera knowledge on a range of items including but not limited to; settings, functionality and operability.
Attendees will meet at a hotel location in each city. From there you will be given the opportunity to loan any current Sony camera and lens to test drive for the session. Once you have some gear in your hands, we’ll be making our way to another location on the Sony Bus. On arrival, you’ll have over an hour of shooting time. Along for the ride will be a Sony Digital Imaging Advocate who will be able to guide you as needed. Once the session is over, we’ll get everyone back to the hotel to check in their loan gear.
