Sony Releases Camera Verify Beta
26 June 2025
Sony has announced the beta release of Camera Verify, a new feature of its Camera Authenticity Solution that "enables external sharing of image authenticity information via a dedicated URL," the company said. "This has been developed to help news organizations address the growing challenge of verifying the authenticity of digital images in the age of generative artificial intelligence."
The beta records C2PA digital signatures and Sony's 3D depth information in the camera at capture, allowing the image's authenticity information to be verified on the Image Validation site. News organizations can now issue external sharing URLs for images with embedded digital signatures, allowing third parties to view verification results through reliable URLs directly issued by the verification site.
In addition, the Digital Signature Upgrade License to embed digital signatures directly into images captured with supported Sony cameras is now available for purchase via the Camera Authenticity Solution Web site.
Sony said it plans to expand support for video content after the fall as part of its ongoing commitment to promoting trusted digital media.
Sony Electronics Launches Camera Verify Feature for Its Camera Authenticity Solution for News Organizations
The beta feature enables external sharing of image authenticity information via a dedicated URL
SAN DIEGO, Calif. -- Sony Electronics has announced the beta release of Camera Verify, a new feature of its Camera Authenticity Solution that enables external sharing of image authenticity information via a dedicated URL. This has been developed to help news organizations address the growing challenge of verifying the authenticity of digital images in the age of generative artificial intelligence.
As AI-generated and manipulated content becomes increasingly sophisticated, the need for trusted, verifiable imagery has never been greater, especially for media professionals. Sony's Camera Authenticity Solution is designed to meet this need by embedding C2PA (Coalition for Content Provenance and Authenticity) digital signatures and Sony's proprietary 3D depth information directly into the image at the moment of capture.
This solution records C2PA digital signatures and Sony's proprietary 3D depth information in the camera at the moment of capture, allowing the image's authenticity information to be verified on the Image Validation Site. With the newly added "Camera Verify" Beta, news organizations can issue external sharing URLs for images with embedded digital signatures, allowing third parties to view verification results through reliable URLs directly issued by the verification site. With this feature, the organizations can select specific authenticity items to share during the content publication and distribution process, enabling faster dissemination of credible, verifiable content.
In addition, the Digital Signature Upgrade License -- which allows for embedding digital signatures directly into images captured with supported Sony cameras -- is now available for purchase via the Camera Authenticity Solution Web site, expanding accessibility to more professionals.
Sony plans to expand support for video content after fall 2025 as part of its ongoing commitment to promoting trusted digital media. Together with activities on the C2PA steering committee, Sony aims to further contribute to improving content reliability in the media field.
