I'm trying to perform the task of taking a picture, but triggered by code instead of relying on the touching of the camera button in UIImagePickerController. Can this be done? I want to take a 10 pictures, 1 per second.

  • Yes, this can be done. And there is already an app for taking photos automatically, do a search in the app store with the keyword, **SneakyPix** – Di Wu Feb 11 '11 at 06:21
  • @diwup I am developing my own app for a completely different purpose than taking pictures. – SamB Feb 11 '11 at 07:09

As answered here, check out Apple's AVCam sample. It shows how to get both still images and video from the camera.

You should look into the AVFoundation framework -- that makes it pretty easy to do.

  • For anyone else reading this, Apple has documented [AV Foundation Media Capture](http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/AudioVideo/Conceptual/AVFoundationPG/Articles/03_MediaCapture.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010188-CH5-SW2) – SamB Feb 11 '11 at 07:10
