You’ll never think about pictures the same way.
The Lytro camera lets you create and share living pictures that you and your friends can endlessly refocus after you take them. Your pictures are about to surprise you — and everyone else.
Camera Information
See the light. All of it.
The Lytro Camera is the first consumer camera that records the entire light field instead of a 2D image. And that changes everything.
A Thousand Words Aren’t Enough.
By capturing the light field, you can do incredible things like refocus pictures you've taken on your camera, your computer, or on the web.
Do more than tell a story. Recreate it.
Now every picture you take is a chance to tell a new kind of story — refocus, change perspective, and add Living Filters to create a new look.
It’s All About Sharing.
Using Lytro Desktop or Lytro Mobile, sharing your living pictures on the Lytro Web Gallery, Facebook, Twitter, and more is easier than ever.
Make the impossible possible. Change your perspective.
Perspective Shift allows you to interactively change your point of view in a picture after you’ve taken the picture. On a computer or mobile device, you can shift the living picture in any direction; left, right, up, down and all around.
Perspective Shift works on light field pictures you’ve previously taken and with any new pictures you take. Change your perspective and see the moment come alive.
Looks like no other camera looks. Does what no other camera does.
The Lytro camera is built around revolutionary technology that captures and processes the entire light field. So it’s no surprise that it’s radically different, inside and out.

Lens
An 8x optical zoom lens with a constant f/2 aperture offers a wide range of creative shots.
-
Light field sensor
We joined a micro-lens array to a digital image sensor to capture the color, intensity, and direction of light entering the camera — 11 million light rays to be precise.
-
Light field engine
This is where the magic happens. The Light Field Engine processes the light rays captured by the sensor, so you can view it on the screen and refocus with a tap.
-
Touchscreen
You control most of the camera functions with a tap or a swipe. And the backlit display lets you compose, review, and refocus your pictures
Create pictures that wow.
The Lytro camera gives you two ways to create living pictures. In Everyday Mode, with just the simple press of the shutter button, you’ll capture life’s great moments and each day’s priceless expressions.
In Creative Mode, you control the blur in the scene with just a tap. You can create amazing pictures like those with refocus between a small flower and a mountain range or along the legs of an ant crawling on the lens. You can also capture high zoom shots and compose dramatic portraits. You’ll never look at pictures the same way.
Take control of your scene.
The Lytro camera now gives you more control over the light in the scene with the addition of Manual Controls. Set shutter speed and ISO through simple access of the controls from the camera’s touchscreen. Use Manual Controls to capture pictures like light painting shots with dramatic refocus and living pictures in motion.
The ISO range is 80 (min) to 3200 (max), and the minimum shutter speed is 1/250. You can also lock exposure and control the ND filter.

Share in the moment, wirelessly.

You can process your living pictures for Perspective Shift, export to anaglyph red and blue 3D JPG, and save them to your camera roll. Lytro Mobile also lets you share living pictures to Twitter or Facebook, or save them as an animated GIF to send to your friends and family.

Sharing is good.
With a couple of clicks, you can post to your own personal page in the Lytro Web Gallery, where your living pictures will be stored for free subject to Terms of Use. You can also have Lytro Desktop or Lytro Mobile post to Facebook at the same time.
Any Living Picture you’ve posted can be shared on Twitter, Google+, or your blog — and you can email friends a link to your picture in the Lytro Web Gallery.
Your pictures are in for a lot of clicks. And taps.
When friends check out the living pictures you’ve shared, they get to explore them the same way you do. They can refocus again and again just by clicking or tapping, shift the perspective, and post their comments. It doesn’t matter whether they’re using a computer, a tablet, or a smartphone. And they don’t need any special software. It’s just like looking at ordinary pictures. Except a lot more fun.
