Canon USA has partnered with the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) to promote awareness around the safety risks of using counterfeit power accessories, such as batteries, chargers, and external flashes. The production and sale of counterfeit products is an issue that not only affects the consumer electronics industry, but consumer safety as well.
Canon and the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) have teamed up with Young Minds Inspired (YMI) to provide a free consumer education program. Designed for high school and college classes on photography, cinematography, photojournalism, and imaging technologies, these materials will educate your students on the dangers of buying counterfeit camera accessories, and provide them with the tools to know the difference so they don’t get fooled.
Canon sponsored the development and production of the following videos along with the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) in support of continuing efforts to educate consumers about the dangers of counterfeits.
