Lytro light field camera is a camera that can take photos before focusing. The appearance of the camera at that time caused a great response. Now let's experience this light field camera together with the small editor!
As for the appearance of the light field camera, I will not describe it any more. You can go to the front《 First shoot and then focus LYTRO light field camera image appreciation 》See the complete exterior view inside.
First, let's take a look at the official introduction:
I translated the meaning of the picture. The translation is all on the picture. Just look at the picture.
Internal structure diagram.
This is the basic situation. Next, let's practice this light field camera.
Note: This is a light field camera with upgraded software. Before the upgrade, the option of WIFI connection to mobile phone is not enabled. The corresponding options in the figure are: WIFI, touch screen focusing switch (it is recommended to turn it on, because this touch screen focusing also supports linkage metering, and it will be better to handle the picture before shooting). The third is storage space.
Pull it to the left to show the battery balance and timing shutter.
The timing shutter has 2 seconds and 10 seconds options.
You can adjust the optical zoom with your finger across the slider, up to 8 times the optical zoom.
The screen has shutter and ISO values.
The shutter speed and ISO can also be adjusted freely.
ISO can be adjusted to a minimum of 80 and a maximum of 3200
The shutter speed can be adjusted to 8 seconds at the slowest, so long exposure can be used when shooting night scenes.
This is basically the main operation of the light field camera. After shooting, pull right to return to the gallery to view the photos. These photos are in the adjustable focus format (LFP) exclusive to the light field camera, and you can zoom in and out by sliding the slider.
Hmm... Because the screen is too small and the resolution is too small, the viewing effect on the screen is poor, so the process of image adjustment is edited and put on the desktop client to explain:
After the desktop client connects the light field camera, it will first back up the camera, and wait slowly.
It is also slow to enter the gallery for the first time.
The pictures in the gallery can be enlarged, and the red circle part of the gallery can be managed separately according to time.
Select a photo at random to demonstrate. Click any point on the picture to refocus. This is to set the focus on the front yellow cup.
The focus is set on the blue cup at the back. You can see that the yellow cup in the foreground has been blurred.
Try the contrast of other proofs with different focus settings. This software can only adjust the focus later. The exposure of proofs is fixed and cannot be changed. After exporting JPG, you can adjust it yourself.
This software can also query the EXIF of samples.
Use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out to see details.
After the focus is adjusted, a filter can also be added.
After all is done, you can also directly share these samples on the server provided by Lytro to share your joy with other users.
After sharing, you can view the samples shared by yourself or other users on Lytro's website. In fact, many samples are effect pictures... not user's actual pictures, because some pictures cannot be taken with this camera, especially the strong macro effect and high-speed capture effect (the fastest shutter speed is only 1/250 S). If you are interested, you can go to: Go to the gallery on its official website.
Of course, in addition to browsing directly on its official website, Lytro has also launched an iOS client. Users can upload samples and view other users' samples directly through iOS devices.
However, this software is a bit inhumane. You need to exit the image library before you can directly export JPG to your computer.
However, the exported photos are not large, only 1080 * 1080 resolution
That's all for the introduction of desktop client. For iOS version clients, please visit《 IOS client evaluation of Lytro light field camera 》Look inside.
Conclusion: This light field camera is really a new thing. It can adjust the focus after the event, and also adjust the shutter and ISO to increase playability. However, the exported resolution is too low, and the picture can not be said to be very clear. Moreover, the effect of changing the focus after the event is more interesting only under the composition of clear foreground and background. If it is a big scene, For example, when taking a group photo of many people or a landscape map, which has no obvious depth of field, the focus can be adjusted afterwards, which has no effect. Of course, now Lytro has its own iOS client, which can share samples to Lytro's server in real time. Sharing with other Lytro users will improve the shooting pleasure. But it can only be classified into the category of technological gadgets. If you really like photography and picture quality, you won't use it. If you are sharing, given that Lytro's user base is still relatively small, wouldn't you convert the image to JPEG and then put it on your social network, such as Twitter and Facebook, after you shot it with this product? After exporting JPEG, you can't change the focus. In this way, it's the same as taking a picture with your mobile phone and then putting it on the social network. In a word, it is cool, but not practical.
