What Is A Lytro?


Have you ever taken a great picture, spent time admiring your work, and then realise that it's just a bit out of focus? Or have you just gotten the focus completely wrong in the rush to get the snap away?

A new type of camera was released last year that in time, could make out of focus shots a thing of the past. It's called the "Lytro" Light Field Camera.

The Lytro doesn't loo like a conventional camera, nor does it act like one when capturing an image. The Lytro records information about where light is travelling, therefore building up an almost three dimensional scale of data that can be manipulated at a later date.

It's not an easy concept to understand, but have a read of what our friends at DPReview thought of the Lytro. It's a very interesting concept!
