The camera obscura effect is achieved by creating a tiny hole in one wall in a completely dark room. Through the hole light is focused, and the outside scene is projected upside down on the opposite wall. The hole acted like a lens by focusing and projecting light onto the wall of the dark chamber.
2. What invention during the 17th Century helped man get a step closer to creating the modern camera?

The invention during the 17th Century that helped man get a step closer to creating the modern camera is the understanding of optics and the process of making high quality glass lenses.

 A glass lens, a dark box, and film were the parts of the first modern camera invented by Niepce.
4.What do modern digital cameras have in common with Niece camera?
