Lytro is a revolutionary product which gives an entire new look to your photography practice. This is the first time many of you are seeing the product which does not creates interest in first look. If you read further and learned about the product features surely you are going to love it. Lytro is a digital camera which is designed on Light Field Camera Technology. I will explain how does Light Field Technology helps Lytro to become a better or different camera than others. This is something very interesting to read. Assuming the traditional way of taking picture you go in market and purchase a mid range digital camera with offering you a compact size , high definition recording, better frame rate, etc. This is what all we look for. I am not talking about professional photographers who spend a huge amount in buying top quality cameras. This is for those who wants a good camera on vacation or for personal use. Here Lytro does not compete anyone is design or looks, but this camera offers you a kind of more clear picture taken from every angle. In simple way you can zoom every part of picture and get a clear output. For example, in a photo taken in crowd you can see clarity only on the focus part while other area of the image is blurry or out of zoom. The reason is that most of the digital camera just works hard to give you the photo of what you are taking not the extra part around that. But Lytro has a kind of extra ability to deal with the issue. You can not only get a clear view of each part of image but you can adjust the zoom and make settings as you want.
There might be some line that will be confusing above, but just keep reading below. You will get more clear idea. Lytro works with light capture technology. It captures the Light Fields which helps the camera to take the best clear picture. You cannot imagine how useful this can be. This is a kind of revolutionary technology. What Lytro can offer you is a best image quality and performance. A very small long rectangular tube shape camera looks entirely different can just be in your pocket. Just have a look on the image below. There are some images which can give you clear idea about the looks of this camera. It is worth to talk about the intelligent design. You might be wondering that does it is possible to get better picture quality in this but this camera does not support video recording. It is built specially for high quality picture quality. The design of camera looks like a long rectangular box which mostly makes me feel that you are looking out from some tube. A wide lens on the front side and mini screen on the back gives you basic controls to get the pictures properly. It is equipped with sensors to control zoom and tap pictures. The camera is capable of capturing the light field. It doesn't matter on which part the light travels. So from every point you can have a clear image. After or while taking a picture you can focus or re-focus any part you want. The important thing to consider here is the image quality of this camera. It can be said that this is one of the first product which come with the new Light Field stuff. In comparison to typical camera, Lytro capture the light field. Typical camera measures the color and intensity. Lytro does a bit more than that. It measures the light direction. It just creates an environment of 3D scene. That means it does not matter where the light travels, Lytro can focus on more clarity. The camera then captures the light and codes them to an image.
The best point of this kind of camera that it makes the picture more flexible to capture. The ability to focus on the current scene is awesome and gives you the best shot. Here you do not need to make any adjustment. Just tap zoom in and capture. Check the images, elements around the image area, those will be clear enough. Other than this the camera also lets you to clear on the part of image which you want by zooming it.
