The first camera ever invented was the one that made the first photograph ever produced. That was done by a French gentleman named Niepce, who had a device called a Camera Obscura. A Camera Obscura was a box with a hole in one end, a mirror set at a 45-degree angle, and a piece of glass to lay a tracing paper on. In use, you aimed it at what you wanted a picture of, put the tracing paper on the glass, and drew the picture with a pencil.


Niepce practiced an art called Heliography. You got a piece of tinplate steel, coated it with asphalt, laid things on the asphalt and stuck it out in the sun for many hours to let light harden the coating. Then you washed the plate to remove the unexposed asphalt and you had a picture. (Reprints were out of the question.) Niepce decided to see what would happen if he put a heliograph plate in his camera obscure and left it there all day. What happened is he got a picture - the camera obscura put enough light on the plate to harden it.

The battery shows to be charged but when put in the camera will not turn on this is on a camera with recording apitek brand?

Too many things here are left unanswered.1) Does the camera turn on when a different battery is in it?2) Can you verify that the battery is good? {do you have a multi-meter or battery tester other than whatever is currently saying it is good}3)Assuming that other batteries do turn the camera on then properly dispose of the one that does not work, it is bad. IF the camera Doesn't EVER turn on even when the battery is good then your camera is broken. Otherwise:Best bet is to ask the make of company whats wrong, or take it to a camera store and see if they can help.
