Taking images from camera without user interaction?

Question

I am creating an app in which, as soon as the uiimagepickercontroller loads (i.e. the camera view), it should start taking pictures without any click and store images in an array. How can I do this without clicking on the "shoot" button?

In reference library, uiimagepickercontroller contains an instance method, takepicture. Can somebody tell me if this function will do the trick, if I call it through timer?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Sharhelia,

-takePicture should do the trick in deed. You have to provider a custom UI for the camera controls, because otherwise (for me) it doesn't work. Check out the developer documentation in Xcode and search for takePicture. The method description has everything you need.
