Opens up new possibilities

The Ilum's first practical light field camera for photographers.
The subsequently adjustable sharpness creates new possibilities in photography.
Especially small objects can be impressively set in scene. The effect of the "Living Pictures" is based on a minimum change perspective. The data for this calculation takes the camera to almost incidentally. This also 3D stereoscopic images are possible.

The aspect ratio is propietär. Can therefore only be processed with the mitt delivered Lytro software and read. However, the software allows you to export and import "editable" Living Pictures. In order for the shots in Photoshop or Lightroom can be edited.
Need to give the recordings more they are stored only in a standard format. Either as an image file or a video.
The Living-Picture effect can be experienced only in the Lytro software itself or in the Lytro web gallery.

The firmware and software that is currently being updated and optimized brisk. With Lytro has apparently currently some. The community is also growing constantly. As interesting things will come determined yet.

Conclusion: The camera is quite expensive and covers only a small part of the useful Photography from. As an additional camera for applications above the IIlum is very interesting. A DSLR or system camera can not replace it at this time.
