Everyday Mode: our default shooting mode. If Creative Mode and Manual Controls are turned off, then you're in Everyday Mode.
Exposure: the overall relative lightness or darkness of a living picture. This can be set using Manual Controls.
TIP: Even though auto-exposure is controlled by the Lytro camera in Everyday Mode, you can still manually adjust exposureon a picture-by-picture basis.
Fast Charger: an accessory to plug the camera directly into a wall outlet for a speedier charge.
Importing: the combined action of transferring pictures from your camera to the Lytro Desktop software, and then also processing them so they can be viewed and explored.
ISO Sensitivity: how sensitive to light the sensor on the camera will be.
Living Picture: the informal term for an Light Field Picture (LFP) captured by a Lytro camera.
TIP: A "living picture" can be refocused at any time, both by you and by others: on the Lytro camera, in Lytro Desktop, and on Lytro Web.
Lytro: the name of our company. (Did you know that Lytro rhymes with "micro"?)
Lytro camera: our very first commercial light field camera. (Its formal name is the "Lytro Light Field Camera," but that's a bit of a mouthful for everyday use.)
lytro.com: the entirety of the Lytro website, including Lytro Web but also the informational and ordering areas, plus the company picture gallery. See our Terms of Use for more information.
Lytro Desktop: the software that fully processes the light field for your pictures and displays them on your computer. See our minimum specifications for computers to run Lytro Desktop.
Lytro Web: the picture-sharing areas and features of the lytro.com website, aka pictures.lytro.com. See our supported browsers and devices for viewing living pictures.
Megaray: one million rays of light, expressed as data (direction, color, and luminosity); our standard measure of light-field resolution. The Lytro camera is an 11-Megaray camera.
Motion Blur: imprecise light capture, caused by the motion of the subject or of the camera lens. Light field technology does not solve for motion blur.
Refocus: altering the display of light data within a living picture by clicking or tapping. The light data itself does not change when you refocus-- just what aspects of that data are being revealed.
Refocus range: the span of shooting distances within which various objects can later be refocused clearly. You can adjust the refocus range using Creative Mode.
Reprocessing: enabling Perspective Shift on living pictures. This is an optional step.
Shutter Speed: the length of time that the shutter remains open. This can be set using Manual Controls.
Transferring: moving pictures from the Lytro camera to the Lytro Desktop software.
Tripod Mount: an accessory to steady and secure the camera.
"Unlisted": one of two possible privacy states for pictures posted on Lytro Web. Unlisted (non-public) pictures can only be seen by people with the weblink (URL) to that picture or story.
Zoom Slider: controls how tightly framed your compositions are on the Lytro camera; a line of slightly raised ridges in the silicone housing on the Lytro camera.
