This light data can be used further to adjust the focus a picture according to a photographer’s desire using a computer. It works same way as a photo editing software does, to adjust colors, views, hue and brightness or contrast. The lytro camera can take picture even in low light conditions without using flash. It uses its single lens to make possible to take 3D-like shots. This makes photo explored as never been before.
