This patent application (2024-025274) discusses how to automate the tilt movement given the objects that the user wants in focus, but more importantly when you want to tilt the plane of focus to something other than horizontal or vertical.
I believe this is more commonly called swing. Canon is proposing setting the two focus points [. . . ]

In this Canon Patent Application (2023-153460) Canon discusses both the need and the method of changing focusing during shift or tilt operations. As with the other patent applications in this series, I should first mention that the tilting and shifting discussed seem to be internal and done by moving optical elements. canonrumors.com »

Canon has been exploring quite a bit of methods of doing tilt in a more automated fashion, from having the lens electronically controlled to this patent application (2024-057829) that has the tilt movement controlled inside the camera itself.
We have been told that Canon will announce at least three new lenses ahead of the CP+ Photo & Imaging Show in Yokohama, Japan which takes place between February 22 – February 25, 2024. We were not told what lenses to expect, but that a niche part of the market would be addressed.
When we were first discussing the series of patent applications on motorized tilt-shift lenses for the RF mount, one of my musings was the ability to use this to automate stitching and various shooting at different shifts and tilts.
We recently discussed the patent here that talked about a motorized tilt-shift lens. It was my imagination that Canon could expand the functionality far beyond simply lens control. Well, it turns out the smart minds at Canon thought the same.
