Read in full version 10.26.2023 21:24, Vladimir Mironenko Leica has announced the addition of the M series of cameras with a new model, the Leica M11-P, priced at $9,195, which is positioned as the world’s first camera equipped with the Leica Content Credentials function (content credentials), which fully guarantees the authenticity of photographs from the moment they were taken until the moment of publication. Image source: Leica/thenewcamera.com With Leica Content Credentials, images can be signed using a special algorithm to guarantee their authenticity. When enabled, the M11-P embeds an encrypted signature backed by a CAI-compliant certificate into DNG Raw and JPG files containing the photographer’s name, camera make and model, and EXIF data of the photo. You can also add information about the photo you took to the description. The information entered cannot be changed and can be verified using open source tools provided free of charge by the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI). Therefore, it can be used as proof of the authenticity of the image. In addition to knowing whether the image is original or edited, you can view its edit history. This way, photographers can confirm the authenticity of their photos throughout the entire process, from shooting to publication. Image source: Adobe/The Verge The credentials are not protected from unauthorized access, but the intervention of attackers will be immediately visible. The function is implemented by a special security chip that generates a signed certificate (content credentials) in the metadata of each image. Otherwise, the Leica M11-P is similar in specifications to the 60-megapixel M11 rangefinder camera. The Leica M11-P features a 60-megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor with Triple Resolution technology, with an ISO range of 64-50,000, up to 15 stops of dynamic range, and 14-bit color depth recording. However, like all Leica models with the P index, it does not have a red dot badge, instead of which the Leica inscription is engraved. Also, instead of Gorilla Glass, the LCD display is protected from damage by sapphire glass and, like the M11 Monochrom, there is 256 GB of flash memory instead of 64 GB on the M11 model. The Leica M11-P will also be released alongside the new Summicron-M 28mm f/2 ASPH lens, priced at $5,295.
