About

Lightfield Studio

Features
Read full description

Lightfield Studio brings your light field camera back to life. Connect over the camera's own Wi-Fi, browse the roll, and bring the full light field across to your iPhone. Then do the one thing only a light field camera can do: change the focus after the photo was taken. FOCUS AFTER THE FACT Tap anywhere in the picture and the focus moves there. Or take the focus slider and sweep through the depth of the scene by hand. A second slider opens and closes the aperture, so you decide how much of the scene stays sharp — the choice a conventional camera makes for you the moment the shutter fires. THE COLOUR THE CAMERA INTENDED Every frame is developed with the camera's own parameters: black level, white balance, colour matrix, sensor layout. Brightness, contrast and saturation are yours to adjust, and everything you set is carried into the exported photo — what you see is what gets saved. COMPATIBLE CAMERAS Works with the Lytro® ILLUM and the first-generation light field camera, down to their different sensor layouts and colour metadata. The remote shutter works on both: fire the camera from your phone. BUILT FOR AN ARCHIVE Downloaded photos and their thumbnails are kept on your device, so the gallery is there the next time you open the app — the camera does not have to be switched on. Photos still on the camera, photos already on the phone, and photos deleted from the camera are each marked as such. NO INTERNET, NO ACCOUNT The app talks only to your camera, directly, over its own Wi-Fi network. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account to create, and there is no tracking of any kind. ELEVEN LANGUAGES English, Turkish, Chinese (Simplified), Spanish, Hindi, Arabic, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, German and French. The app follows your phone's language, or you can pick one in Settings. TRY IT BEFORE YOU PAY Connecting, browsing the roll, thumbnails and the remote shutter are free without limit. The first three full light field imports are free as well, permanently. Beyond that, a yearly Pro subscription unlocks unlimited imports and exports. The price is shown in the app before any purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings after purchase.
