A dual-focus camera (20) suitable for use on an automated includes an imager (22), a lens-assembly (26), and a negative-meniscus-lens (30) (nml (30)). The imager (22) is used to detect an image (24) of a field-of-view (14). The lens-assembly (26) is used to direct the image (24) from the field-of-view (14) toward the imager (22). The lens-assembly (26) is characterized as focused at a first-distance (28) in the field-of view (14). The negative-meniscus-lens (30) is interposed between the imager (22) and the lens-assembly (26). The negative-meniscus-lens (30) is configured to focus a portion (32) of the image (24) onto the imager (22). The portion (32) is characterized as less than a whole of the image (24) and focused at a second-distance (34) in the field-of-view (14) independent from the first-distance (28).
