Early cameras of the 16th and 17th centuries were able to project images onto paper or glass, but research on capturing, processing and printing images took years. Until the 17th century, scientists believed that light was basically composed of the "white" perceived by the human eye. A study by the famous physicist Isaac Newton found that light is actually composed of a series of colors. Although he made a great contribution to optical research through this discovery [this is the core of camera progress], Newton did not actually have anything to do with camera development itself.
The early camera that became the phenomenon was slightly more than the pinhole camera, dating back to 1558. It is called a camera black box. Camera Obscura is considered a drawing tool that can depict objects more clearly and realistically. In the early 19th century, Cambridge scientist William Hyde Wollaston introduced an invention called "Photo Lucida", which consists of an optical device that helps the artist observe where he or she is. A distant scene on a paper or a person or object. Used to draw. In other words, the artist can view the overlay image of the theme on paper, and the image can be effectively used to try to draw, paint or draw it. Both Camera Obscura and Camera Lucida provide a temporary image that cannot be permanently captured on paper for later reference.
However, research continued until the 1800s on how to actually capture images onto materials. It was during this time, around 1822, that French researcher Joseph Nicephore Niepce created his first photo using paper coated with chemicals. The image will not remain on the paper forever and will disappear after a while. Even so, despite the short-lived nature of the image, the concept of photography was born with this experiment, paving the way for further research and development in the field.
Capturing images takes them longer and becomes the next big task for researchers. Another Frenchman, Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre, worked with Joseph Nicéphore Niépce in 1829 to develop a process for making permanent photos. Joseph Niépce died in 1833, but Daguerre continued this work, and after years of experimentation, he succeeded in 1837. The process introduced by Daguerre to capture photographic images that do not disappear is called "daguerreotype".
The word "photography" was coined by scientist Sir John W.W. Herschel in 1839. It actually originated from two Greek words "photos", meaning light and "graphein" means painting.
A slightly more advanced version of the daguerreotype is called the Calotype process, and multiple copies can be implemented using negative and positive methods, and will be available soon. In fact, it was in the 1840s that the use of photographic images in advertising began, and the camera left a mark on the power of visual communication. Soon after, in the 1850s, photographers began experimenting with underwater photography of seascapes.
Until 1850, the process of capturing images was cumbersome and required up to half an hour of illumination. The discovery made by Frederick Scott Archer in 1851 was a blessing because the new method was called the Collodion process and took only 2-3 seconds. The exposure can take an image.
Before 1871, photographers went through a development process where they had to apply wet chemicals to the plates and process the images immediately. With the gelatin dry plate silver bromide process of the present invention of Richard Leach Maddox, it is not necessary to develop the film immediately. This is an important finding because the captured image must be processed immediately before this.
Founded by George Eastman in 1888, Kodak is a modern pioneer in the field of VW cameras and photography. George Eastman and his scientists who worked at Kodak developed the photographic film in 1889 and used it as a coil for mass consumers. An important milestone in the history of our entertainment and communications is the transparent roll film developed by Eastman. This development led to another important invention - Thomas Edison's film camera filmed in 1891.

In the 20th century, the pace of development of cameras and photography continued to accelerate, just like many other key technologies. Although several key inventions such as cars, telephones and phonograph records took place in the second half of the 19th century, significant developments have been made in many areas of communications technology and in other fields [television, aircraft] over the past 100 years. , PC, digital technology, digital cameras, mobile phones, fax machines and the Internet, to name a few.
In the case of cameras, these developments simplifies the entire photographic process, enabling them to get a person and everyone at a reasonable price, and the camera industry in our time has turned it into a mass phenomenon. The first large-scale camera was launched in the early 20th century and dates back to 1900. There are currently hundreds of models available for amateurs and professionals, and cameras are an important part of the camera. A gadget that any family must have.
- The 20th century chronology in camera history:
1913: 35mm still camera creation
1927: General Electric's flash bulb [the concept of camera flash has existed for a long time, but based on the use of flash powder invented by German researchers]
Between 1935 and 1941: Kodak began selling Kodachrome film, followed by Kodacolor film. Canon released Hansa Canon in 1936, the first 35mm focal plane shutter camera.
1948: The concept of Polaroid cameras is introduced on the market. American scientist Edwin Land developed the process of instant photography. Later, Polaroid developed the "Instant Color" movie around 1963.
1957: Frenchman Jaques Yves Cousteau invents the first waterproof 35mm camera for underwater photography called Calypso Phot. The actual camera was developed by Belgian aircraft technology designer Jean de Wouters based on the blueprints and recommendations that Cousteau gave him.
1972: An electronic camera that does not require film was created and patented by Texas Instruments. However, this is different from digital cameras, although you don't need film in digital cameras. The launch of digital cameras will take many years.
1975: Kodak's digital imaging experiment began in the mid-1970s, but it will take 20 years before the introduction of digital cameras in the consumer market.
From 1978 to 1980: Asian players like Konica and Sony began to emerge. The "Peer-to-Peer" autofocus camera was introduced by Konica, and Sony began talking about cameras and demonstrating prototypes.
1981: Sony introduces a commercial electronic still camera. Similar to Texas Instruments' 1972 invention, a Sony electronic camera comes with a mini disc on which images are recorded and stored. The recorded image can be printed or viewed on the monitor later using the reader device.
1985: Digital processing technology enters the market. Pixar has introduced digital imaging and processing technology.
1986: With the introduction of the one-time disposable camera concept, the camera industry has become more consumer-focused and takes full advantage of the fun and travel connotations behind camera use. This concept of Fuji has been developed.
Also between 1986 and 1987, Kodak began to make great strides in digital development. The number means that the photographic image is divided into tiny points or square units called pixels. A pixel is a programmable unit of an image that can be processed by a computer. Each image can be made up of millions of pixels. The use of pixels in digital technology allows for the storage of a large number of pixels to provide high definition print quality.
1990: Kodak introduced the Photo CD. It is a system that stores photographic images on a CD and then views them on a computer. With this development, the user-friendly approach of the camera industry has begun to materialize.
1991: Kodak introduces digital cameras for professionals and journalists. Kodak is considered to be the invention of our pixel-based camera technology called digital cameras. Digital cameras don't use film similar to their predecessor cameras, but the storage method is completely different, and the resolution of the final photo is much higher. In digital cameras, photos are recorded and stored in digital form. This digital data can be transferred to a computer and processed for printing. Kodak and Canon are well-known digital camera manufacturers and several other major brands.
1994: Launch of the Apple QuickTake camera, a home digital camera. This was followed by Casio, Kodak and others who successively launched a series of home digital cameras between 1995 and 1996.
- Digital Age:
The development of digital camera technology is believed to be related to the development of television and video technology. The principle of transmitting and recording audiovisual images using digital electrical pulses can also be used for camera imaging.
In the 1990s, the development of camera technology continued, and the focus now shifts to digital imaging, which is the future direction of development. Friendly features such as software that can download digital images directly from the camera to a home computer for storage and sharing on the Internet can be used, which is the new normal on the market.
The camera, computer, software industry and global network are irreversible today...
