Photo special: Technology 2012

The world's first 'shoot first, focus later' camera has gone on sale. The tiny $400 USD 250 Lytro camera effectively takes every possible picture at once, focusing on everything in a picture in one shutter-click. The technology inside is so revolutionary that the late Apple boss Steve Jobs reportedly met with Lytro to discuss building the technology into future models of iPhone. When looking at Lytro pictures via a PC, mobile phone or tablet, the pictures aren't stored as still photographs, they're stored as animations. The user can simply touch on anything in the photo to focus on it. The camera's makers are a Silicon Valley start-up that secured $50 million in funding. [Photo/CFP]
