The Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series (Half-Hour) is an annual award presented as part of the Primetime Emmy Awards. It was created as Outstanding Cinematography for a Half-Hour Series, incorporating both single and multi-camera programs, in 2008 alongside Outstanding Cinematography for a One Hour Series. From 2011 to 2016, the awards were combined as Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series.
The categories were divided again in 2017.[1] However, only single-camera series are eligible for the award with multi-camera half-hour series competing for Outstanding Cinematography for a Multi-Camera Series.
