What is Canon Professional Services (CPS)?
Canon Professional Services (CPS) is the currently free service that provides owners of Canon professional photography or video equipment with information and support. By joining the CPS membership programme you become part of an exclusive network of professional photographers and videographers, all working with professional Canon equipment across many imaging disciplines – from sport to fashion, from wildlife to weddings, from documentary to advertising.
Once you get your CPS membership card and number this will identify you and your registered equipment to your local Canon Professional Representative and to all Professional Service centres in Europe. Your local CPS Representative will keep you informed of local events and seminars and can offer help and guidance should you require it.
CPS Support Teams are often in place at major events – such as Formula 1 Grand Prix, Fashion Weeks, Wimbledon and the Olympics to name just a few – where all you have to do is show your CPS membership card and your registered details will be on the CPS system so the team is ready to give you the professional support you deserve.
