The document outlines the key developments in photography and camera technology from 1772 to 2012. It describes how Johann Heinrich Schulz discovered in 1772 that silver nitrate could capture images when exposed to light, paving the way for the first photographs. It then summarizes several other important innovations, including Joseph Niepce developing the first photograph using a camera obscura in 1814, Louis Daguerre inventing the daguerreotype process in 1837, and the development of color film and digital cameras.

2. The discovery that silver nitrate changes
1772!
Johann Heinrich Schulz discovered
that a substance called silver nitrate
would change colour when exposed
to light. This paved the way for the
first pictures to be taken and
processed.

3. The camera obscure is developed
1814!
Joseph Niepce developed the camera
obscure and took the first photo with
it. It wasn't ideal, though, because it
took 8 hours of light exposure to
make a picture, and the picture faded
with time.

4. The Daguerreotype was invented
1837!
Louis Daguerre invented a new way
to take pictures. It only needed 30
minutes of light exposure, and the
image didn't fade with time.

5. Making multiple copies possible
1841!
William Henry Talbot developed the
Calotype process. This made it
possible to make multiple copies of
the same picture.

6. Taking pictures gets easier
1851!
With the new Collodion process,
cameras only needed a few seconds
of light exposure to make a picture.

7. Film is made easier to handle
1871!
Up until this time pictures had to be
developed immediately after being
taken. Richard Leach Maddox
invented the gelatin dry plate silver
bromide process, which made it
possible to take a picture and develop
it later.

8. The invention of the roll-film camera
1888!
George Eastman invented the first
roll-film camera.

9. The Polaroid camera is marketed
1948!
The Polaroid allowed people to take a
photo and have it developed
immediately, right from the camera.

10. Coloured film is introduced
1963!
Polaroid came out with the first
coloured film.

11. The first consumer camcorder is released
1980!
Sony put out the first consumer
camcorder, allowing people to record
their memories in real time.

12. The first digital camera is developed
1974!
The Sasson Company built the first
digital camera.

13. The first digital camera is marketed
1984!
Canon put out the first digital camera
for the public, which was later
improved by Pixar.

14. The first camera phones (1990's)
1990!
The camera phone technology was
first used in Japan, but it quickly
spread around the world.

15. The Easy Share camera comes into play
2001!
Kodak put out their Easy Share digital
camera, which made it easy to snap
pictures and download them to the
computer.

16. Wireless cameras are developed
2012!
Kodak put out cameras that didn't
have to be connected to a computer
in order to download and share the
pictures.
