Johannes Vermeer is known to have used a camera obscura to study the subject of his paintings in great detail

Explanation:

Johannes Vermeer is one of the most famous painters from the XVII century thought to have used camera technology as a tool to help him create his paintings, using camera obscura rooms to cast the desired image onto a surface and then trace it directly. There are many aspects from his paintings that seem to indicate he did use a camera obscura, such as precise positioning in his compositions, very accurate perspective, lighting details, and highlights in his paintings similar to the halation effect produced with a camera obscura.
