The Lytro Camera which is based upon the light field technology has been made available by Snapdeal, with its starting price in India chalked out at Rs. 39,999. Two variants, with 8GB and 16GB capacities can be purchased, with the former even coming with the options of two colors – electric blue and graphite. The 16GB model is a red colored one, and has its cost pinned down at Rs. 47,999. At the moment, Snapdeal is the only Indian retailer to be selling the device.
The light field technology of the Lytro camera allows it to capture the entire light field. This way, all the rays of light that are travelling in every direction through a scene are recorded by it. And it is this ability which enables it to refocus images even after clicking them. It renders the image in a way that you are able to shift focus at any of its point, with the use of its touchscreen or on your desktops.
And moreover, users can even share these distinct image files with their friends who can then change the focus as they wish. Its Perspective Shift feature allows users to interactively change their point of view for a picture after they have captured the shot. This is done by importing the picture onto the computer and shifting the image slightly on any side. The image we’ve embedded below gives a basic idea of how its body has been granted its various functions.
The aluminum casing helps this device keep its weight steady at 214 grams. Its dimensions read 41mm x 41mm x 112mm, and its back-lit LCD touchscreen is a 1.52-inch one. This display comprises access to a number of its features that include adding special filters, changing the settings and more. Its lens is able to proffer 8x optical zoom, whereas its F-number stays constant at f/2. For such a snapper, 8GB worth of storage is enough for hoarding a total of 350 living pictures, claims the company.
The 8GB Lytro Camera can be purchased in India now via Snapdeal at a cost of Rs 39,999. Its 16 GB model on the other hand, is placed at Rs. 47,999.
