Multisig by the user and camera manufacturer can help to some extent.


Multisig requires user cooperation, many users will not care to cooperate, and chain of custody verification really starts working only if you can get (force) ~100% of legitimate users globally to adopt the system.

Also, for the potential creators of political fakes, such a multisig won't change things - getting a manufacturer's key may take some effort, but getting (and 'burning') keys of a dozen random people is relatively trivial in many ways - e.g. buying off of poor people, stealing from compromised random machines, or simply issuing fake identities for state-backed actors.
