In the year 1724, Niepce realized the discovery with Johann Heinrich Schultz using a chalk and silver mixture to darken the colors of the photograph under the presence of light.

This discovery had begun the magnificence of cameras to human life.

The Book of Optics in the year 1021 from the Iraqi Arab Scientist namely Ibn Al-Haytham had introduced the development of cameras which is the Camera Obscura. This device uses a lens and or a pinhole to focus an image of the certain scene outside the viewing surface.

The stated matter had also been studied by Roger Bacon, a Scientist-Monk. In the year 1267, the Perspectiva of Bacon’s drawings and notes were published. It was partly obscure with the theological materials that distinguished on how the Devil is able to insinuate using magic through the pinhole. It was also not clear if the said occurrence had helped him create and design such kind of camera.

On January 24, 1544, an instrument maker and mathematician namely Reiners Gemma Frisius from the Leuven University had used a certain type of camera to witness a solar eclipse. He had published a method of diagram through the De Radio Astronimica et Geometrico on the following years.

Giovanni Batista Della Porta was the primary person who had recommended the said method as a sort of aid in drawing some images in the year 1558.

There was no other way on preserving the images that were produced by the said cameras aside from manual tracing until the photographic processes gad been invented.

The first versions of cameras were like of size of rooms with a space that is good for two or more people to get inside it.

Later on, these cameras were developed into a more compact model such as that of Niepce’s portable handy cameras which are suitable for taking some photographs.

Johann Zahn had created the first small and portable camera during the year 1685 despite the fact that it took him almost 150 years before making the application a possible one.
