Digital Camera’s has been an essential for people for the past 10 years. What about other camera’s like the Lytro light field camera? It doesn’t look so beautiful, but it is a revolutionary device in technology. It comes with a cubic frame. It doesn’t look as beautiful as other cameras. But it is capable to do what other cameras can’t.Camera is meant for taking pictures; this will be changed to ‘beautiful’ when it is in the hands of photographers or families. But does the use end here? No, will be the answer by a journalist if we askers him/her this question. Here is the use of cameras like Lytro.
Lytro light field camera is now available in UK with 8GB and 16GB, priced £399 and £469 respectively. The light field technology used in the camera captures the direction of incoming light rays as well as their colour and intensity, allowing you to refocus images after they’ve been shot, on its touchscreen or online. Let’s now look at its specs and features.
Design
Here is a view of how it looks when we look through the device.
The Lytro is available in three metallic colours-grey, blue and red. A design that is similar to Apple device is adopted here. As said above the Lytro is available in two versions, one of 8GB and another of 16GB.You will also get a USB cable for both charging and data.Features
A sad thing in the new light field camera has stripped photo features which has been traditional to minimum. The device has a creative mode which allows you to a full zoom- 8x or a 3.5 which is limited. Don’t expect more on such a camera, because it worries if you expect something more. We don’t have any control over colour or sensitivity, and lightning. The resolution is only 128 x 128, which we can understand in the first look itself. Taking lining up shots in the device can be tricky as it washes out in bright light.
Uploading The Lytro also has setup for uploading images. Lytro shows its Apple love once again as it will not work with Windows, we can hope a Windows version soon as the company announced a windows version in this week itself. If you need to take and upload a picture it took around 10 seconds each. This is very fast when you compare to Facebook apps or mobiles. When you have more it will be uploaded very quickly. The Mac software used in it is very user-friendly but it’s basic.
At present the Lytro light field camera is having options only to share via Lytro’s website, Facebook and twitter. The device also has a great option, which allow your friends to refocus a picture clicking anywhere in the picture. Another offer from the company is a free upgrade to create eerie parallax 3D images from existing Lytro files.
Image qualityA the device captures intensity as well as the direction of each light ray, its 11MP sensor outputs only a JPEG image of just 1.2MP. This look very lovely in the device but when you transfer the picture to any other device it’s hard to make good prints.
The images taken in the device is soft and prone to blowing out highlights. An important think you need to remember is that the device has no video mode or flash. One plus point is that refocusing is very outstanding.
AfterWords
Lytro is just an amazing gadget; we need to love it like how Real Madrid fans like Ronaldinho. It looks fantabulous and awesome. The cute lovely look of the device makes everybody say ‘I like it’. The light field technology will be a remark for Lytro forever, and it is about to change what we think about photography soon.
Although there are many features like refocusing a taken image, it also lacks some important features for a camera like the power, flexibility and resolution, as it has a small screen. As the Lytro will arrive soon in the market, it will be good if you wait for the 2.0 version to arrive. The device is now available in US and it costs $400.Watch this video to know more about the device >>>
