Zusammenfassung:	A dual-focus camera suitable for use on an automated includes an imager, a lens-assembly, and a negative-meniscus-lens (NML). The imager is used to detect an image of a field-of-view. The lens-assembly is used to direct the image from the field-of-view toward the imager. The lens-assembly is characterized as focused at a first-distance in the field-of view. The negative-meniscus-lens is interposed between the imager and the lens-assembly. The negative-meniscus-lens is configured to focus a portion of the image onto the imager. The portion is characterized as less than a whole of the image and focused at a second-distance in the field-of-view independent from the first-distance.
