Sony is holding a press event on January 8, 2024, at 5:00 PM Pacific Time. According to the latest information coming from rumor mills, Sony is expected to announce a new FX Cinema Line camera. There will be no Sony Alpha camera announcement on Jan 8, 2024. However, it’s unclear which FX Cinema camera is about to arrive at the Sony Jan CES 2024 event. So, we have two options either Sony will bring the Sony FX6 Mark II or we will see a brand new Sony FX9 Mark II, the chances of having a Sony FX3 Mark II are slightly less compared to the two mentioned earlier. So, now cross your fingers, and let’s wait for the next update to arrive, although Jan 8, isn’t too far from today.

According to Niki Asia Canon Nikon and Sony will fight against deep fake AI images with the help of adding a digital signature to images in encrypted shells. Finally, we can expect the upcoming Canon Canon R5 mark II camera is come with the same tech, according to the press release Canon will implement it in their pro-level cameras starting from 2024 (which will surely include the Canon R5 mark II camera) Canon is soon releasing its application that will be able to tell whether an image was taken by a person from a Canon camera or is AI-generated.

TNC Takes – This incridable feature has the potential to be a game-changer in the fight against deepfakes and could give the Canon R5 Mark II a unique edge in the ever-evolving landscape of image manipulation.
What is secure metadata tagging?
Just think of it. when each image captured on the R5 Mark II being stamped with a tamper-proof digital fingerprint, embedded within its metadata. its similar to a fingerprint, every image has its own embedded unique cryptographic signature, and the embedded encrypted file will keep a record of the image’s origin and any subsequent edits. Any alteration, no matter how subtle (even adjusting basic shadow and contrast), will be kept in the embedded file of the image.
What if someone takes the screenshot of the image, and republish it as his image?
The main battle of this tech is to fight against the AI-generated image, since one image has embedded data ( even with subtle edits logs ) then it will be treated as an authentic image and eligible for press and news agency use, but for sure it will help in establishing your ownership too, and it will be very easy now even when you don’t have any RAW file of your image along with you.
Here’s how it could work in practice:
- A journalist captures a sensitive image on their R5 Mark II.
- The secure metadata tagging embeds a unique fingerprint within the image’s EXIF data.
- The image is shared online, potentially sparking controversy or debate.
- Anyone can verify the image’s authenticity by examining its metadata and comparing the fingerprint to the original captured by the camera.
This level of transparency and tamper-proof verification could be invaluable for:
- Photojournalists: Protecting the integrity of their work and ensuring accurate representation of events.
- Law enforcement: Combating the spread of manipulated evidence and identifying the source of deepfakes.
- Scientists: Ensuring the validity of research data captured with the R5 Mark II’s high-resolution sensor.
- Content creators: Building trust with their audience by showcasing the authenticity of their work.
The inclusion of secure metadata tagging in the Canon R5 Mark II would be a significant step forward in the fight against online manipulation. The new feature will set a new standard for transparency and authenticity in the broader photography and videography community. Lets hope for the best.
