Focus after you take the shot
I wonder whether you could use this for focus stacking...? It'll make focus stacking look quaint and clunky! You can have as much or as little in focus as you want, if it does what I think it does.

Focus after you take the shot
Just to add, this works by using a modified microlens array in front of the sensor. The thesis PDF shows them hacking an MF digital camera. The 'raw' output is decidedly odd, but the software analyses the sensor data to reconstitute a 'proper' image given your required focus point and range. T...

I was using Safari when I first looked, and was wondering what the was supposed to show :D Then I switched browsers to Firefox and suddenly it worked :P Pretty amazing stuff.

Apparently there is already software that you can tweak the focus in post processing. Anybody know what it is? Any experience?

Focus after you take the shot
There's Focus Magic, which can correct very slight focus blur, and directional movement blur. It's only incrementally better than normal sharpening though, except the movement blur which is slightly more impressive. I torrented it specifically for correcting shutter induced blur, which it does a...

Focus after you take the shot
this will find it's way into surveillance and radar cameras first before it makes it's way into consumer cameras. the point and shoot crowd won't wanna pay more for a camera with this, and the d-slr crowd won't need it as long as they got lenses for thier existing system. But law enforcement and mi...

Focus after you take the shot
I had a play with the demo. It is fun to play with I admit, but where is the skill? Surely part of the enjoyment of photography is in the actual taking of the photograph, the thinking about it, the composition of it, deciding on what and how much should be in focus? A depressing prospect if it can ...

but where is the skill I bet photographers said that when the first AF cameras appeared, and before that the first AE ones, and before that.... etc etc. Eventually we will have a camera that only needs the photographer to be in the right place with the right light, having said that with advances ...

Or we won't even need to be there - lots of webcams of this type and who needs to fly around the world?

There is something fishy about this.

Focus after you take the shot
If it is as revolutionary as it sounds I'm surprised that it's only venture capital backed (albeit with a lot of money) and has not been snapped up by one of the big players. Low light capability, choose focal point after the event and stack from a single image. That would be really something. ...

Focus after you take the shot
Just received my "priority access link" to be one of the first in line to buy one of these "Light Field Cameras" from Lytro. In all honesty, I don't think I'll be purchasing one anytime soon, but I am very interested in the technology, and am hoping it's not a "gimmick" that will fade away.

Focus after you take the shot
I think the way data is collected off this sensor yeilds a lower resolution image than other sensors of the same size.... I suspect this camera will be enjoyed by news photographers and amateurs..... so I see many uses in robotics and machine vision, as well as surveilence but limited use for serio...

Surely part of the enjoyment of photography is in the actual taking of the photograph, the thinking about it, the composition of it, deciding on what and how much should be in focus? A depressing prospect if it can all be done in computer later. Photography has always been a mixture of art and craf...

Digital photo frames- novelty or good?
We have one and I think it's great, it goes on and off on a timer each evening so no intervention required. I have a copy of the same photo's on my TV if showing a slideshow. The only thing I don't like about mine (it's a Sony) is the viewing angle isn't great as the frame is slightly higher tha...

Digital photo frames- novelty or good?
I dislike lots of photographs of people displayed around my house so I did buy a digital frame quite a few years ago and it is usually on. I don't sit and watch it like a slide show but I quite like the fact that it is ever changing. I got one for my mother a couple of years back. She's 84 and li...

Digital photo frames- novelty or good?
My parents have one (81 and 75 yrs old) and since they have zero technical ability, and computers and tablets remain as alien as hieroglyphics, they are delighted with the one I bought them as they can use it to show their friends photos they took, on something larger than the 1.5' screen on the bac...

AEL
P.121 of the manual John. AEL 'locks' the exposure for a certain time, when you press the AEL button. It does not affect the focus. It means you can then recompose (and refocus etc), while the exposure remains as it was when you pressed AEL. Practically, you may be wanting to expose for a brigh...

AEL
those of us that use the spot meter, or shoot lots of video put a fair deal of wear and tear on that AE lock button... one example would be at a wedding... spot meter off the face then AE lock, lock focus on the eyes, recompose and shoot... not only are your subjects eyes in focus, but the Whit...
