This phenomenon is known as Oersted's law. He also discovered aluminium, a ...
1820 – Hans Christian Ørsted, Danish physicist and chemist, develops an experiment in which he notices a compass needle is deflected from magnetic north when an electric current from the battery he was using was switched on and off, convincing him that magnetic fields radiate from all sides of a live wire just as light and heat do ...
The first partially successful photograph of a camera image was made in approximately 1816 by Nicéphore Niépce, [19] [20] using a very small camera of his own making and a piece of paper coated with silver chloride, which darkened where it was exposed to light. No means of removing the remaining unaffected silver chloride was known to Niépce ...
English inventor Francis Ronalds built the first working electric telegraph. 1820: Danish physicist Hans Christian Ørsted accidentally discovered that an electric field creates a magnetic field. 1820: One week after Ørsted's discovery, French physicist André-Marie Ampère published his law. He also proposed the right-hand screw rule. 1821
View from the Window at Le Gras 1826 or 1827, believed to be the earliest surviving camera photograph. [1] Original (left) and colorized reoriented enhancement (right).. The history of photography began with the discovery of two critical principles: The first is camera obscura image projection; the second is the discovery that some substances are visibly altered by exposure to light.

1975 – Bryce Bayer of Kodak develops the Bayer filter mosaic pattern for CCD color image sensors. 1976 – Steadicam becomes available. 1986 – Kodak scientists invent the world's first megapixel sensor. 1987 Canon releases the first camera for its fully electronic autofocus EF lens mount, the EOS 650 [20] Photoshop developed by Thomas and ...
The camera was a waist type with an M40x1 screw mount and a horizontal cloth focal shutter. This camera is the pattern for most of the 35 mm SLR cameras and also for the Japanese and the digital SLR cameras today. After the war, Praktiflex was the most manufactured 35 mm SLR in Dresden, especially for the Russians as reparations.
Lytro Illum 2nd generation light field camera Front and back of a Lytro, the first consumer light field camera, showing the front lens and LCD touchscreen. A light field camera, also known as a plenoptic camera, is a camera that captures information about the light field emanating from a scene; that is, the intensity of light in a scene, and also the precise direction that the light rays are ...
