First camera of the century, 16 th and 17 have been able to project images onto paper or glass but the study of acquisition, processing and printing the images took many years. Until the 17th century, scientists thought that light was composed mainly of "white", which is perceived by the human eye. Took the research done by famous physicist Isaac Newton discovered that light is actually composed of a spectrum of colors. Then he made a great contribution to the study ofoptics (which is the basis of advances in camera) with this discovery, Newton did not actually anything to do with the development of the camera itself.
The speed camera that was before a phenomenon has been somewhat of a pinhole camera and can be traced back to 1558. It 'called the darkroom. The Camera Obscura was seen as a tool to draw an object clearer and more realistic. E 'was the beginning of the 19th century that an invention called the Camera Lucida was introduced byCambridge scientist William Hyde Wollaston that consisted of an optical device that could help an artist view a distant scene or person or object on a surface of paper used for drawing. In other words, the artist comes to display an image on top of a subject on paper and this image could be effectively used for groped to draw, draw or paint. Both the camera obscura and camera lucida in an image that was temporary, which could be harvested on sustainable paperfor future reference.
However, studies have continued in 1800, to better understand the real image on a material. During this period, around 1822 that French researcher Joseph Niepce, created the first photograph by using paper that has been coated with a chemical. The image would not stay still on paper, and disappear after a short period. Even so, despite the ephemeral nature of the images, the concept of photography was born with this experiment andpaved the way for the study and development in this area.
Capture images to maintain longer and permanently became the next big search for researchers. Another Frenchman, Louis-Jacques-Mande Daguerre, in collaboration with Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1829 to develop the process of creating permanent photographs. Joseph Niepce died in 1833, but Daguerre continued the work and succeeded in 1837, after many years of experimentation. The process of capturing photographicimages that do not fade away, introduced by Daguerre came to be known as the daguerreotype.
The word photography was coined by scientist Sir John FW Herschel in 1839 and is derived from photos by light of two Greek words 'and' graphein means "draw.
Version daguerreotype a bit 'more advanced call Calotype allowing multiple copies possible using the method of negative and positive have become available as soonafter. In fact, it was during the 1840s that the use of photographic images in advertising has started and cameras made their mark on the power of visual communication. It was not until much later, in 1850 that photographers began to experiment with underwater photography of seascapes.
Until 1850, the process of acquiring images was heavy requiring up to half an hour of light exposure. The discovery made in 1851 by Frederick Scott Archer was a blessing becausethe new method called the Collodion process called for just 2-3 seconds of light exposure to capture the image.
Before 1871, photographers have begun a process of development in which they had to coat the plate with wet chemical each time, and process the image immediately. With the invention, the dry Gelatin silver platter by Richard Leach Maddox, negatives should not be applied immediately. This was an important discovery, because up to then captureimage has been processed immediately.
Kodak created in 1888 by George Eastman was a pioneer of modern of its kind found in cameras and photography for the masses. George Eastman and the scientists who worked with him at Kodak developed the photographic film in 1889 and made available in rolls for use of mass consumption. An important step in our history of entertainment and communication was the development of cling film, roll Eastman. This leads to another keyinvention - the film camera by Thomas Edison in 1891.
-> Modern Times
During the 20th century, the pace of technological development in cameras and photography continued at an accelerated pace, as many other key technology developments. While some key inventions like car, telephone and disc recording happened in the second half of the 19th century, are the last 100 years have seen the development work in many important areas of communication technologies andand other sectors - television, airplanes, computers, digital technology, digital cameras, cell phones, fax and Internet, to name a few.
In the case of the camera, changes to simplify the whole process of photography, which makes it accessible to all at affordable prices and the people sector of photography of our time has made it a mass phenomenon. The first mass use camera became available in the first 20 years can be traced back to1900. There are hundreds of camera models available today for both amateurs and professionals and the camera is an important part of the repertoire of every family must have gadget.
-> History of the 20th century in the history of the camera:
1913: 35mm camera created
1927: The flash bulb by General Electric Co. (The concept of camera flash existed before, but based on the use of a flash of light powder was invented byGerman researchers)
1935 - 1941: Kodak starts marketing Kodachrome film and subsequently launches Kodacolor negative. Canon released the Hansa Canon in 1936, the first 35mm camera with focal plane shutter.
1948: The concept of Polaroid camera is introduced on the market. American scientist Edwin Land developed the process for instant photography. Later Polaroid Corporation developed the color film''snapshot 'circa 1963.
1957: Jacques Yves Cousteau invented the the first waterproof 35mm camera for underwater photography named the Calypso Phot. The device was developed by the Belgian airplane technical designer Jean Wouters depending on the model and suggestions given to him by Cousteau.
1972: The electronic camera that does not require film was created and patented by Texas Instruments. This is not the same as a digital camera, if you do not require film in digital cameras. The launch ofyears> digital camera is still very far away.
1975: Kodak's experiments with digital imaging began in the seventies, but will have another 20 years before a digital camera for the consumer market at home has been launched.
1978 - 1980: Asian players like Konica and Sony begin to make their mark. "Point and shoot auto focus camera is launched by Konica while Sony starts talking about the camera and shows aprototype.
1981: Sony launches a commercially available electronic camera. Similar to the 1972 invention by Texas Instruments, the Sony electronic camera came with a mini disc on which images were recorded and stored. Recorded images can later be printed or displayed on a monitor using a reader device.
1985: Digital processing technology makes its entry. Digital imaging and processing is introduced by Pixar.
1986: The camera industry becomes evenconsumers more focused and taps the fun and travel connotations behind camera usage, with the launch of the concept of using disposable cameras only. Fuji is credited with developing the concept.
Also in 1986 - 1987, Kodak started taking giant strides in the development of digital. Digital medium, the photographic image is divided into small units of dots or squares called pixels. Pixels are the programmable units of an image that can be processed by a computer.Each image can be composed of millions of pixels. The use of pixels in digital technology allows storing large volumes of pixels to deliver quality prints in high definition.
1990: Kodak introduces Photo CD. This is a system of storing photographic images on CD and then displayed on a computer. With this development, the friendly approach of the field of photography began to take shape in concrete.
1991: Kodak introduces a digital camera for professionalsand journalists. Kodak is credited with the invention of a technology-based pixel camera that we know as the digital camera. Digital cameras do not use sheets similar to their predecessors electronic cameras but the storage method is entirely different and the final photo is of much higher resolution . In the digital camera photos are recorded and stored in digital form. These digital data can be transferred to a computer and processed for printing.Kodak and Canon are well-known manufacturers of digital cameras and there are also many other key brands.
1994: The Apple QuickTake camera, a home, use of digital camera was launched. E 'followed by the launch of a clutch of home digital cameras from Casio, Kodak and others in quick succession during 1995 - '96.
-> The digital age
The development of digital camera technology is considered to be related to the development ofTV and video technology. The principles of transmission and recording of audio-visual digital images electrical impulses is the use of camera images.
During 1990 further developments in the technology of the camera, the focus is now on the field of digital imaging, which is our future. Using user-friendly features like software that can download images directly from a digital camera to your computer at home to store and share Internet is the new standard in the market.
The camera, computer, the software industry and the Internet are now irrevocably linked to allow the user to experience the benefits of using a camera full potential. The innovation that drove the invention of many people the camera found its way into the digital world as well and continued among digital camera manufacturers. In 2001, Kodak and Microsoft partnership, so that> Manufacturers of digital cameras can use the power of Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) standard through Windows. The experience of digital photography is a key visual in the Internet. Many models of digital cameras Kodak EasyShare capabilities are compatible with Windows XP. Kodak EasyShare software enables users to transfer digital photos directly from camera to computer and then print photos or even email.
Buildersin an industry like the printing industry have adapted their products to be consistent with images created by digital cameras. The mobile phone manufacturers have tied up with the digital camera manufacturers to develop new age camera phones in recent years. These camera phones can capture and share images via mobile phone.
Among the developments of the 21st century digital offerings are products developed by manufacturers and digital camerasis sure to occupy an important place in the history of the development that followed the camera. For example, the Kodak Professional DCS Pro SLR / c is a high-end digital camera and the Kodak website calls the DCS Pro SLR models the most feature-rich digital cameras on the market. Has an image sensor that can handle 13.89 million pixels and this makes it the highest resolution digital camera available. High resolution determines the sharpness or level of detail inphotographic images. This is an overview of the features that make the digital technology in the hands of a user. Digital camera sales figures for 2003 show that the two key players Kodak and Canon have recorded impressive growth.
-> What does the future hold for camera users?
The features offered by digital cameras can be quite disconcerting for the average user and pretty exciting for professionals anymore. Four major advances in aircraft, which are probably morefurther improve the process of photography:
1. High resolution of even the most simple, the low-cost camera models
2. Use in all types of lighting conditions,
3. The compatibility between a range of software, hardware and image types
4. Rich in color and tone
While higher end digital evolution continues, the price of simple camera rushed to the point that even children and teenagers are the proud owners of simple devices. The cameraPhotography interest starts young, creating a very large audience base for the industry of the camera.
And throughout history, it is clear that the efforts of researchers and developers has been to make the device accessible to a broad segment of society. Without the technology, the camera and photography, the evolution of other major film and television has been delayed and what a boring place the world would be without TV and movies!
