Learning to use the LYTRO ILLUM
This User Manual is a technical reference for using the LYTRO ILLUM. It
explains how to operate the camera, and the behavior of each of the modes,
settings, and buttons.
For many photographers, getting the most out of a light field camera may require
additional education and thought on how to best compose and capture images
with depth.
