How Camera was Invented?

The first camera was invented in the early 1800s by Thomas Wedgwood. Wedgwood was a chemist and an artist, and he was interested in finding a way to capture images on paper. He experimented with a variety of different materials, including silver nitrate, but he was unable to make the images permanent.

In 1827, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce invented the first successful photographic process, called 'Heliography'. Niépce coated a pewter plate with a light-sensitive chemical and placed it in a camera obscura. He then exposed the plate to light for eight hours, and the resulting image was a negative of the scene outside the camera obscure. Niépce's process was improved upon in 1835 by William Henry Fox Talbot. Talbot invented the calotype, a process that produced a negative on paper. This was a significant improvement over Niépce's process, as it allowed for multiple copies of an image to be made.

The first color photograph was taken in 1861 by James Clerk Maxwell. Maxwell’s process recorded three separate images of a scene on a glass plate, each one filtered with a different color. When the three images were combined, the result was a full-color photograph. The first commercial camera was introduced in 1888 by George Eastman. Eastman’s camera, called the Kodak, used a roll of film that allowed for 100 exposures. The Kodak was simple to use, and it made photography accessible to the masses.

Digital cameras were invented in the early 1970s, but they did not become widely available until the 1990s. Digital cameras capture images on a digital sensor, which is a much more efficient way to store images than film.

The first camera was the camera obscura, which was used in the 16th century. The first photographic camera was invented in the early 1830s century. The first commercial camera was invented in 1839. The first digital camera was invented in 1975.

The history of the camera can be traced to when scientists first began experimenting with the camera obscura. This led to the development of the first photographic cameras in the 1830s. The first commercial camera was introduced in 1839, and by the end of the 19th century, photography had become a widely popular hobby. In the early 20th century, advances in camera technology led to the development of the first movie cameras and eventually the first still cameras.

The word camera is derived from the Latin word 'Camera Obscure', meaning 'Dark chamber'. 

The first camera obscura was developed by Aristotle in 400 BC and was articulated by Ibn Al-Haytham. The first practical camera obscura was developed in the 16th century by the German astronomer Johannes Kepler. Kepler’s camera obscura used a convex lens to focus the light onto a paper screen. In the 17th century, scientists began experimenting with using mirrors to reflect light into a camera obscure.

In the 18th century, Scottish scientist James Watt developed the first camera obscura with a metal plate. In the early 19th century, French artist Louis Daguerre developed the first practical photographic process, known as the 'Daguerreotype'. The daguerreotype was introduced to the public in 1839. In 1841, English scientist William Henry Fox Talbot developed the first negative-positive photographic process, known as the calotype. In 1851, Frederick Scott Archer developed the wet plate collodion process, which became the standard photographic process until the 1880s. In 1871, Richard Leach Maddox developed the first 'dry plate process'. 

In 1877, English inventor Eadweard Muybridge developed the first successful means of capturing motion on film. In 1878, George Eastman developed the first commercially successful photographic film, known as Kodak film. In 1888, Eastman introduced the first Kodak camera, which used roll film. In 1900, the first color photograph was taken. In 1903, the first motion picture was produced. In 1939, the first color feature film was released. In 1948, the first film to be shot in widescreen was released. In 1952, the first film to be shot in 3D was released. In 1954, the first film to be shot in Cinemascope was released. In 1955, the first film to be shot in Technicolor was released. In 1956, the first film to be shot in Panavision was released. In 1957, the first film to be shot in VistaVision was released.

In 1959, the first film to be shot in Todd-AO was released. In 1960, the first film to be shot in Super Panavision was released. In 1961, the first film to be shot in Cinerama was released. In 1962, the first film to be shot in Ultra Panavision was released. In 1963, the first film to be shot in IMAX was released. In 1965, the first film to be shot in 70mm was released. In 1967, the first film to be shot in Super 35 was released. In 1968, the first film to be shot in Dolby Stereo was released. In 1969, the first film to be shot in DTS was released. In 1970, the first film to be shot in IMAX 3D was released. In 1971, the first film to be shot in IMAX DMR was released.
