Fourth Fig Parrot

[Carl Clifford <>]

Fuji does make several cameras for forensic photography.  
Unfortunately, I don't think any models have the "fragile watermark"  
technology that would be needed to produce an image that would reveal  
any attempts at alteration. As far as I know "fragile watermarking"  
still remains a rather elusive "Holy Grail" for Forensic photography.
Even with "fragile watermarking", there is no way to tell if the  
image produced is one that has been taken on site or is one that has  
been taken of another image,which had been altered, unless there is a  
documented "chain of custody" for the image.
The days of "the Camera Never Lies" is long gone - if it ever existed.

Cheers,

Carl Clifford

I think Fuji did one that was supposedly for use in evidence. Best

shoot transparency film though probably.
