The camera that lets you decide your focus AFTER the shot - by taking every possible photo at once

The Lytro camera only has two buttons, 'on/off' and the shutter button.

There’s no focus ring and no autofocus. Lytro doesn’t need them. The camera offers a new technology that effectively takes every possible picture at once, ‘focusing’ on everything in a picture in one shutter-click.

When you look at Lytro pictures via a PC, mobile phone or tablet, you can simply touch on anything in the photo to focus on it. It's an idea that could completely change photography.

The idea isn’t new – but early  ‘plenoptic’ or ‘light field’ cameras were room-sized lens arrays attached to high-powered computers. The Lytro is pocket-sized – and could turn the world of photography upside down.
