Update #2: This may be the patent Dual Pixel RAW is based on (thanks lwestfall)

Canon patent combining Phase Detect with Light-Field technology for accurate Auto-Focus

Scroll down  for the Dual Pixel RAW discussion.

Update: Digicame-info also posted a detailed specification list. I added the Dual Pixel RAW information leaked at Nokishita Camera (see below):

  • Newly developed 30.4MP CMOS sensor
  • Dual Pixel CMOS AF
  • Dual Pixel RAW: One of the RAW file recording both the normal image and the parallax information. Digital Photo Professional of the “Dual Pixel RAW Optimizer” in the can: three of image processing
    • Image Micro-adjustment: by using the depth information, fine adjustment enables the position of the maximum sharpness and resolution
    • Bokeh Shift: to change the position of the previous blur (original: repositions the viewpoint of foreground bokeh for a more pleasing result)

Original post

A more detailed specification list for the upcoming Canon EOS 5D Mark IV leaked at Nokishita Camera.

Although the text is machine translated from Japanese, I think it is getting clearer what Dual Pixel RAW means and is for (the text in red above). My interpretation of what leaked so far is that Dual Pixel RAW is a technology that will allow for some focus adjustment in post-processing. This is something we know from light-field cameras like the Lytro.

I think the text below leaves no doubt. For instance “normal image and the parallax information” makes me think there is more than one image that’s taken on more than one focus plane. And “by using the depth information, fine adjustment enables the position of the maximum sharpness” seems to point to the possibility to shift the focus in post-processing, as does “Bokeh Shift“. As far as I understand, the “focus post-processing” will be available in a new version of Canon’s Digital Photo Professional software.

Well. Canon is going to set another technological milestone.

Let me know what you think about Dual Pixel RAW, am I right with my interpretation?
