A new way to take and experience pictures has arrived. The Lytro camera is the world's first light field camera that allows you to instantly capture interactive “living pictures” to share with your friends and family online.

The Lytro camera is the first consumer camera that records the entire light field—all the rays of light traveling in every direction through a scene—instead of a flat 2D image.

Shoot first, focus later
By capturing the light field, you can do incredible things. Like refocus pictures after you take them. This also means that the Lytro camera has no autofocus—and none of the shutter delay that comes with it.

Do more than tell a story. Recreate it. Refocus to discover new elements within the scene and move the picture in any direction to change your point of view with Perspective Shift. Use Living Filters to create a unique look. Now every picture you take is a chance to tell a new kind of story.

Get ready to share.
Share your pictures on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ or your blog and your friends can instantly refocus them and play with perspective shift just like you do.

Grip
Made from precision-tooled silicone, the grip is easy to hold.

Shutter button
The Lytro camera has no auto-focus — and none of the shutter delay that comes with it.

Lens
An 8x optical zoom lens with a constant f/2 aperture offers a wide range of creative shots.

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.

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
The light field engine processes the light rays captured by the sensor, so you can view pictures on the screen and refocus them with a tap.

Battery
Long-life Li-Ion internal  battery lets you continue shooting without having to stop for a charge.
