Traditional DSLR cameras create photos by detecting light passed through a single large aperture and bulky lens barrel. The L16 is different. The L16 captures light through many small apertures and uses folded optics technology to bounce light off angled periscopic reflex mirrors and through slim, horizontally positioned lens barrels before reaching an optical sensor. The result is a camera capable of taking DSLR quality photos that can fit in the palm of your hand.
Each scene captured by the Light L16 Camera is shot by up to 10 of 16 individual 28mm, 70mm, and 150mm camera modules firing simultaneously. The individual shots are computationally fused to create an incredibly high-resolution, low-noise photograph, up to 52 megapixels in size.

The L16 can shoot a variety of scenes in challenging conditions.
Five individual 28mm shots provide wide-angle field of view coverage.
Five individual 70mm shots improve resolution and noise performance in high and low light.
Information gathered from all ten shots at various focal lengths is combined into one super-image.
Compare the difference between a photo shot using one camera module, and a photo shot using the L16.

L16 technology generates high-res, de-noised, frame-worthy photos from the first snap, but it also gives photographers full access to their files for further manipulation in post-processing.
