In addition, we have expanded our inhouse training options with dedicated 1-2-1 training sessions focusing on all aspects of photography, from understanding how to get more out of your existing camera, to harnessing the possibilities of such software programmes as Adobe Lightroom 2.0 and PhotoShop Elements 7.0.

Sigma rewarded for its environmental approach

The Sigma Corporation has been awarded the prestigious ISO 14001 standard.

This Standard is awarded by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and is a demonstration of the commitment that Sigma has to the environment, ensuring all areas of their design and manufacturing are as environmentally friendly as possible.

While many photographic companies farm out their manufacturing to countries such as China and Taiwan, all Sigma products are designed and manufactured in Japan by fully trained Japanese craftsmen so customers can be assured of the very high quality. ISO 14001 is an important standard which supports environmental protection and the prevention of pollution and Sigma is proud that its hard work in achieving this has been recognised.

For further details on all Sigma products, see www.sigma-imaging-uk.com.
