SUMMARY
Canon has patented a novel camera design featuring two sensors, intended for distinct purposes. One sensor captures a reference image to create a certificate of authenticity, helping to verify if a photograph has been altered, particularly by AI. The second function of the dual-sensor system is to enable focus adjustment after the image has been captured, by combining data from images taken at slightly different focus ranges. This technology builds upon Canon's existing Dual Pixel RAW capabilities for micro focus adjustments.
