The committee today issued a statement which reads: 'LOGOC's policy is that SLR cameras will be allowed into venues. We have no intention at all of restricting compact high-zoom cameras.
'We have yet to finalise all our spectator filming and photography guidelines. Like many other large sporting events and previous Games, one possibility is that there may be restrictions around spectators using large (in size) lenses and tripods, simply because of the impact this can have on the viewing experience for other spectators sitting close by.
'This is all work in progress, and guidelines are under discussion.'
