This camera can capture afterimages of people with AI. It is possible to capture images as if a ninja had transformed into a shadow. Since AI is used to determine the person, no afterimages will be left on objects or animals other than the person. Afterimages can be added to videos that have already been shot, or afterimages can be added in real time. You can also choose to register the video with an afterimage in the photo library.
