Unlike a conventional camera that captures a single plane of light, the
Lytro camera captures the entire light field, which is all the light
traveling in every direction in every point in space.
Features
- The Lytro Light Field Camera comes with an 8X optical zoom lens with a brilliant constant f/2 aperture, hence capturing maximum light across the entire zoom range which makes this a different from other conventional cameras.
- Extruded anodized aluminum structural skin. Center of gravity shutter button. Intuitive multi-touch screen. And less than eight ounces. A meticulously designed camera that's lightweight yet solid, built for stability, and easy to use.
- Light field technology translates to faster snaps. Without an auto-focus
motor, the Lytro's instant shutter means you don't lose time focusing.
Plus, with instant power on, you can capture the perfect moment – not
the moment after.
- No auto-focus, no shutter lag, no unnecessary modes, dials, or settings.
And no flash, because Lytro can handle many low light settings. So, no
obstacles to the perfect shot.
Another major feature is that The Lytro Light Field Cameras do not use the conventional “megapixel”
tag as an indicator of image quality, but instead employs something
known as “megarays” as the sensor inside the camera is capturing data
about light direction and not just a static image. While the images that
come out of the camera are not standard JPG files, rather a proprietary
format, though there is an option in the bundled software to export JPG
files for online display.
