Who invented the earliest camera?

The earliest camera was invented by French painter Daguerre.

1839, French painter Daguerre made the world's first camera with his own negative film and development technology (silver disk photography), combined with the fixing technology invented by Hashev and the printing paper invented by Visho.

Extended data Daguerre photography is the first successful photography method in the world. Its basic idea is to expose a copper plate with silver iodide on its surface, then steam it with mercury vapor and fix it with salt water to form a permanent image. Later, Daguerre made the world's first camera according to this method.

His camera is basically the same as the camera we use today, which consists of lens, aperture, shutter, viewfinder and camera box. The lens is an important part of the camera, and the scene forms an image through the lens. It consists of lenses with different properties and shapes. Daguerre camera has only one focal length, which is f=75mm.

Daguerre (1 787165438+1October18-18565438+July 01) is a French artist and chemist, who is famous for inventing silver photography. Daguerre was born in Valle de Voize, ile-de-france. I have studied architecture, drama design and panoramic painting, and I am especially good at stage fantasy production, so I have a good reputation.
