Capture multiple images with camera, after a single 'button press'? - iphone

Question

Basically, through the use of a custom overlay with the camera app, I am wanting multiple images (in my case 5) to be taken, with only one press of a 'capture' button.
I understand that the following code:
- (void)takePicture:(id)sender
{
self.pictureButton.enabled = NO;
[self.delegate takePicture];
}
results in a single image being taken. Is there a way to have this action replicated 5 times, after a single button press? Effectively, this would achieve a 'burst' like effect, as is implemented in the Camera+ app.

Try this code it take 5 pictures from camera and store in an array. use as you need.
int counter;
NSMutableArray * imageArray;
-(void)takePicture
{
counter=0;
UIImagePickerController *imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
[imagePicker setSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera];
[imagePicker setDelegate:self];
[self presentModalViewController:imagePicker animated:YES];
[imagePicker release];
}
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
UIImage *image= [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage];
[imageArray addObject:image];
counter++;
if (counter<5)
{
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:NO];
UIImagePickerController *imagePicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
[imagePicker setSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera];
[imagePicker setDelegate:self];
[self presentModalViewController:imagePicker animated:NO];
[imagePicker release];
}
else
{
[self dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];
}
}
