using a new approach to folded optics design, the team at light have created the ‘L16’ camera that packs DSLR quality into a slim and streamlined camera body. it’s like having a camera body, zoom and three fast prime lenses right in the photographer’s pocket. with 16 individual cameras, ten of them firing simultaneously. the camera captures the detail of the shot at multiple fixed focal lengths. then the images are computationally fused to create an high-quality final image with a resolution of up to 52-megapixels. using sophisticated depth-mapping similar technology, the light camera let’s photographers adjust focus and depth of field even after a photo has been taken.

light’s friendly interface and large touch-screen makes it easy to capture professional looking photos on the go. and with onboard editing and built-in wifi connectivity, sharing to other devices is just a touch away. built-in, 35 to 150 mm optical zoom, the light ‘L16’ camera gets the entire scene without fuzziness or pixelation and in low light conditions, the image engine is capable of capturing all the available light.
