Frequently Asked Questions

Do you offer camera sensor cleaning in-store?

Yes. We offer DSLR and mirrorless sensor cleaning in all of our stores. Turnaround times can vary depending on the store and current demand, so we recommend checking with your local branch before visiting.

Can you print photos in-store?

Yes. All stores have instant photo printing kiosks for prints up to 8×10 inches and A4, as well as options to order specialist prints, canvas and personalised photo gifts. Please contact your nearest branch if you need a specific product.

Do you take passport and ID photos?
