- The parts of the first modern camera invented by Joseph Niepce were a glass lens, a dark box, and a film.
4.What do modern digital cameras have in common with Niepce’s camera?
- The modern digital camera and Niepce's camera both are composed of lens, a dark box, and a film.
5. What do digital cameras use to capture an image?
