- The photo shoot will be conducted using the customer's own camera-equipped mobile phone, smartphone, or tablet. Photography with other devices (such as instant cameras, digital cameras, film cameras, or DSLRs) is not permitted. Please ensure that your camera app is ready to launch before lining up for the event.

- Photography equipment such as film cameras and digital cameras cannot be used. Please note that we do not provide mobile phones with cameras. We will handle mobile phones with care, but please understand that we cannot be held responsible for any damages that may occur.

During the filming, participants are prohibited from bringing personal belongings. Please understand that items deemed dangerous by the staff will be temporarily held before filming. Participation with items such as fans or boards is also not allowed.

For those using iPhone devices (and those using iOS-enabled devices even if not an iPhone), please hand your device to the camera reception staff while it is displaying the home screen, not while the camera is open. The staff will check to ensure that the screen recording and audio recording functions are not active. Please note that the screen recording function will not activate unless the device is operated for the purpose of screen recording. Therefore, if the staff finds that the screen recording function was active when checking the device after collecting the ticket, it will be deemed an act of "attempting to record the special benefits video intentionally, thereby obstructing smooth operation and progress," and the recording function will be stopped. The device will be returned without the special benefits video being recorded. At that time, the special benefits ticket will be collected and will not be returned, so please be very careful. Any recorded data captured while the recording functions (such as video recording, audio recording, or screen capture functions like iOS's Live Photos or screen recording) are ON during or after the shoot will be deleted, and only the device will be returned.

Please ensure that the "pre-shooting" feature of the Xperia mobile device is always turned OFF. To check the settings, go to the [Premium Auto] settings menu and confirm [Pre-shooting]. Photography cannot be performed if it is set to [Auto]. Please make sure to set it to [Disabled] (OFF) or use the regular shooting mode. Please note that, in order to check the settings, the order of photography guidance may be adjusted accordingly.

If the on-site staff suspects that recording is being done by means other than the screen recording function, we may ask you to close all "running applications." If you are performing any tasks on your device, please make sure to save your work and close the applications before lining up, ensuring that no applications other than the camera are running. (You will need to operate this yourself before recording. We cannot be held responsible for any data loss resulting from closing applications.)

Re-shooting is generally not permitted. However, there may be instances where staff may request a re-shoot at their discretion. In such cases, the original shooting data will be completely deleted after the re-shoot is conducted. For those using iPhone devices, please also delete the files from the recently deleted folder. Particularly, if you leave the designated area for the event, we will not be able to assist you upon your return, so please understand this in advance and make sure to confirm any issues immediately after the shoot on stage.

Using the flash/strobe function on smartphones and tablets is not recommended. If images turn out overexposed (white-out) or underexposed (dark) when shooting in auto mode, we cannot accommodate re-shooting. Therefore, please turn off the flash and set the mode to one that allows for shooting with ambient light.

Please turn off the smartphone's live function mode and hand it over to the staff.

Please be aware that staff and equipment may appear in the background depending on the angle. Additionally, moving the shooting location is not permitted.

Basically, we will photograph the members and customers in a way that includes their entire bodies, but depending on the situation on the day, we may adjust the framing, which could result in cropping out parts such as legs or shoulders.

Please be aware that customers who have finished their shoot or those who are not part of the shoot are not allowed to wait or stop near the shooting location.

We kindly ask for your cooperation to ensure a wonderful photo shoot can be achieved within the limited time available.

If a preschool child is participating, only one preschool child is allowed per guardian.
