A camera is an optical instrument that captures images. Most cameras can capture 2D images, while some more advanced models can capture 3D images. At a basic level, most cameras consist of a sealed box (the camera body), with a small hole (the aperture) that allows light to pass through and capture an image on a light-sensitive surface (usually a digital sensor or photographic film). Cameras have various mechanisms to control how light falls onto the light-sensitive surface, including lenses that focus the light and a shutter that determines the amount of time the photosensitive surface is exposed to the light.

The still image camera is a key instrument in the art of photography. Captured images may be reproduced later through processes such as digital imaging or photographic printing. Similar artistic fields in the moving-image camera domain include film, videography, and cinematography.

The word camera comes from camera obscura, which is Latin for "dark chamber" and refers to the original device used to project a 2D image onto a flat surface. The modern photographic camera evolved from the camera obscura. The first permanent photograph was made in 1825 by Joseph Nicéphore Niépce.

Camera's | HOW IT'S MADE
Nowadays, cameras are a very important part of our daily life. To be precise, people are obsessed with cameras. Today the cameras can click pictures as well as shoot videos. Initially, in 1825, Joseph Nicéphore Niépce used a sliding wooden box camera made by Charles and Vincent to take the first permanent camera image.

Cameras have evolved from dark boxes to modern digital cameras and camera phones through several generations of photographic technology, silver plate photography, printing plates, dry plates, and film. But have you ever wondered how Cameras are made? watch the video ahead to find out!

History of Camera
The history of camera imaging can be traced back to BC when the "photographic cassette" was the prototype of today's camera. A camera cassette is an optical device that uses a light beam passing through a small hole into a dark room to project an upside-down image of an object.

The mechanism used by this device is almost the same as that of a pinhole camera. From the 16th century, the camera eventually developed into a device that integrated a lens, a camera obscura, and a mirror.

Whereas, in 1839, the French Daguerre invented the silver version of the camera. About 30 years later, Maddox invented the dry plate in the UK. It was with these inventions that the era of hand-painted objects came to an end, and the era of cameras that used photosensitive materials to record images officially began.

Film camera
More than 170 years after the advent of the camera, the photosensitive materials used to record the images have been constantly changing. The photosensitive material first used silver plates, then developed into wet plates and dry plates, and finally, people invented film.

In acknowledgement of this course, other experts developed various types of film cameras that can accept different sizes of film. In addition, half-frame cameras that double the number of frames per roll of the film have also entered the market.

Film cameras are also called silver halide cameras. The most commonly used type of camera film is 135 film, which is the standard size film used to shoot movies. Reversal film, which can make colours more vivid, is also used to make slideshows.

The development of electronic technology has promoted the popularization and miniaturization of cameras. Surprisingly, electronic technology was actually used in cameras very early, dating back to the emergence of electronically controlled automatic exposure meters in the 1950s. This innovative design frees photographers from the tedious process of adjusting shutter speed and aperture.

Not only that, due to the addition of autofocus function and auto flash, cameras have gradually become popular among the general population. At the same time, IC replaced transistors used in electronic control circuits in the past, which has also accelerated the pace of miniaturization of cameras.
