History of the Camera

Cameras in the early 16th and 17 th century was possible to send images on paper or glass, but a study for the collection, processing and printing of images taken for many years. Up to 17 century, scientists believe that light, consisting mainly of 'white', which is visible to the human eye. Took the study takes place at the famous physicist Isaac Newton discovered that light is actually composed of different colors. Although it made a great contribution to the study of Optics (which is totally going camera) with detection, Newton is not really anything to do with the development of the camera itself.

At the beginning of the first camera was a phenomenon that has become little more than a pinhole, and can be traced to 1558 was called the Camera Obscura. Camera Obscura was seen as a tool to ensure clearer and more pragmatic form of shares. He was in 19th century invention called the Camera Lucida was introduced by Cambridge scientist William Hyde, and Stone], which consists of vision that can help to look at long visual artist, or someone or something on the surface of the paper, he or she is using for a fee .

In other words, the artist gets to view the objects stored on paper and the image can be effectively used to draw, paint or watch it. What the Camera Obscura Camera Lucida, provided that the image was temporary, and that may not always be taken on paper for reference in future.However, as studies continue in 1800 on how to get a picture article in fact. It was at that time, around 1822, the French research Nicéphore Niépce Joseph, created the first film with paper, which was coated with chemical substances. Image not yet permanently on paper, and disappear after a short time. Even so, despite the short time-image nature, born in the concept photos with this experiment and paved the way for further research and development in this field.Images them longer and permanently became the next big search for the scientists. Next - Frenchman Louis Jacques Mande Daguerre work with Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1829, to develop a method to create a permanent image. Niépce Josef died in 1833, but Daguerre continued the work, and succeeded in 1837 after years of experimentation.

The process of photography, that will not disappear, which was introduced by Daguerre came to be known as "Daguerreotype '.
Photography Word "was created by scientists, Sir John FW Herschel in 1839, and it is actually derived from Greek words meaning''images light and 'extract graphein' meaning.

There are slightly more advanced version called Calotype Daguerreotype process, which allows multiple copies can be negative and positive available very soon after. In fact, it was in 1840 to use the images in the ads started and the camera took their spots on the power of visual communication. It was not until much later in 1850, first as a photographer began experimenting with underwater photography of seascapes.

Until 1850, in the process of capturing images was cumbersome, requiring up to half an hour exposure to light. Discovery in 1851, Frederick Scott Archer was a blessing, because the new method called collodion process called only 2-3 seconds in contact with light to capture the image.
Before 1871, photographers went through the process of development where they have coated the plate with wet chemical each time, and process in the form directly. With the invention of gelatin dry plate silver bromide process Richard Leach Maddox, negatives to develop immediately. It was an important discovery, because then, to capture the image had to act immediately.
Kodak, which was founded in 1888 George Eastman was a pioneer of modern cameras and photographs for the masses. George Eastman and the scientists who worked with him on Kodak photographic film and development in 1889 and are in the form of rolls for the common use of consumers. An important milestone in our history, entertainment and communications and the development of transparent roll film Eastman. This development led to another key invention - Thomas Edison film camera in 1891.
Modern times

In the 20 century, accelerate technology development in cameras and photography continued at an accelerated pace much like many other technological developments. While several key inventions such as cars, telephone records and became a late 19th, the 100 years that saw major developmental work in many areas of telecommunications, as well as in other areas - television, airplanes, computers, and digital technology, digital cameras, mobile phones, faxes and the Internet, this is the tip of the Iceberg.

In the case of cameras, development and simplify the whole process of photography, and make it available to all at affordable prices and the camera industry of living of our time, the phenomenon of mass. The first comprehensive use of the camera is available from the early 20th century can be traced to 1900. There are hundreds of models of cameras available today both for amateur and professional camera and is an important part of my family to have the tools.

20 century chronology in the history of the camera:

1913: 35 mm camera to create

1927: The flash bulb introduced by General Electric Co. (the concept of camera flash and a lot sooner, but using flash light powder that was invented by German Researchers)

1935 - 1941: Kodak starts marketing Koda Chrome film and film later sacked Koda Color negative. The Hansa Canon in 1936, the first plane shutter camera format 35 mm.

1948: Polaroid camera concept is presented on the market. World America Edwin Land developed the process of recording immediately. Later Polaroid Corporation developed the film on the 'instant color "in 1963.

1957: Jacques Yves Cousteau found the first waterproof 35mm camera for underwater photography named the Calypso call. The actual camera was developed by the Belgian Aviation technical designer Jean-de-Waters on the basis of plans and proposals to him Cousteau.

1972: a digital camera which does not require film was created and patented the devices and Texas. But it is not the same, digital camera, if you need film in digital cameras as well. Start a digital camera is still many years.

1975: Kodak experimenting with digital photography began in the mid-seventh, but it will take another 20 years before digital camera consumer market at home began.

1978 - 1980: Asian players like Konica and Sony begin to label them. Point and shoot 'automatic focus camera is open Konica while Sony starts talking about the video camera, and demonstrate the image.

1981: Sony launches commercially available electronic camera. As the 1972 invention by Texas Instruments and Sony electronic camera came with a small disk images that were recorded and stored. Images can be filed later in the paper or on screen by the reader.

1985: processing Digital technology makes its entry. Digital photography and processing is presented "Pixar.

1986: The camera industry is becoming consumer focused and taps fun ride and consequences for using the camera to start the concept of single-use cameras in one. Fuji is credited with developing the concept.

In 1986 - 1987, Kodak started taking giant steps in the field of digital development. Digital Media and photos are divided into small units pixels or squares known as pixels. Pixel units are applications for image, you can work with computers. It can be any image consists of millions of pixels. Using points in digital technology allows you to store the number of cells to provide high quality printing accuracy.

1990: Kodak's image of a conference on disarmament. It is a system to store images on CD-ROM, and then displayed on the computer. With this development, user-friendly access to the camera industry began to take concrete form.

1991: Kodak has a digital camera compared with analysts and journalists. Kodak is credited with the invention which point the camera is based on technology known to us, such as digital cameras. Digital cameras do not use film similar to his predecessor, electronic cameras, but the method of storage is quite different and the ways the image is much higher than the resolution. Digital camera images are recorded and stored in digital format. It is possible that digital data can be transferred to a computer and processed for printing. Kodak and Canon is known manufacturers of digital cameras, are also major brands as well.

1994: Apple Quick Take camera, and home use and a digital camera is launched. After initial Clutch home use digital camera from Casio, Kodak and others in quick succession in 1995 - '96.

Digital age:

The development of digital camera technology is considered to be linked to the development of television and video technology. Principles of transmission and recording of audio and visual images using digital electrical impulses find use cameras photography as well.

In 1990 and continuing development of camera technology, which now focus turned to the field of digital photography, which is there in the future. Friendly features such as using software that you can send photos directly from digital cameras to home computers to store and exchange on the Internet is that new rules of the market.

Cameras, computers and software and the Internet in the world today are linked irrevocably to allow the user benefits of using the camera to its full potential. That resulted in many innovations and inventions in the field of cameras and find their way into the digital world, and between producers and other digital camera. In 2001, Kodak and Microsoft as a company that digital camera manufacturers can use the power of image Transfer Protocol (PTP) standard through Windows. Digital photography experience is a major driving force at the time visual Internet.Many of Kodak EasyShare digital camera models with options is compatible with Windows XP.Kodak EasyShare software enables users to transfer photos directly from digital camera, camera on your computer and print their photos or even send e-mail.

Manufacturers of related areas, such as the printing industry to adapt their products to synchronize with the images created by digital cameras. Mobile phone manufacturers have tied up with digital camera manufacturers to develop new age camera phones in recent years. The camera phone can take pictures and share photos with your mobile phone.

Between 21 century digital product development of modern technology, and manufacturers of digital cameras are certainly fill an important place in the history of the development that came from the camera. For example, Kodak Professional DCS Pro SLR / c the high-end digital cameras and Internet call models Kodak DCS Pro SLR most feature-rich digital cameras on the market. It is sensor that can handle 13.89 million pixels, and the higher resolution digital cameras available. Resolution provides a high-power and precision in the film. This is just svipinn possibilities of digital technology to put in the hands of users. Digital camera sales in 2003 shows that two key players Kodak and Canon have seen significant growth.

What's next for users of camera?

Actions available for digital cameras can be very mind-shattering for the average user, and very exciting for professionals. Camera four major developments that are likely to continue to improve the imaging process:

1 The higher the resolution, even the simplest, low cost camera models
2 Using any lighting conditions
3 Compatibility of different software and hardware of photos
4 Rich color and tone

While higher-end development of digital technology is still, pricing the camera is simple and crashed to the extent that even children and adolescents are the proud owners of uncomplicated cameras. Cameras and photography interest starts young and this creates a very large audience base for the production of the camera.

Throughout history, it is clear that the efforts of researchers and developers was that the camera available to a wide sector of society. Without a camera and imaging technology, major development in film and television, and any delays boring place in the world can be without TV and films...
