Take multiple pictures on demand using Raspberry Pi python code

-
The python code below takes as many pictures you want as long as you keep pressing enter and saves images in a specified folder (in this case "images") with image names "image1.jpg" , "image2.jpg", etc., from picamera import PiCamera from time import sleep camera = PiCamera() camera.rotation = 270 i = 0 while not raw_input("Press enter for a photo"):    i = i + 1    camera.start_preview(alpha=200)    sleep(1)    image_path = "./images/image"+str(i)+".jpg"    camera.capture(image_path)    camera.stop_preview()    print("image successfully saved in the path: "+image_path) Important things to remember You could also use input() instead of raw_input() function based on the python version. make sure the folder exists already. This code might not create a new folder. Do while in python doesn't exist.

from time import sleep
camera = PiCamera()
camera.rotation = 270 #Your required orientation
camera.start_preview(alpha=200) #transparency - ranging from 0 - 255
sleep(60) #change the time here (in seconds)

Raspberry - Record a video for x minutes / x hours using command line option

-
raspivid record video using CLI The default option records for 5 minutes. We could override the default options using -t option on the raspivid command line interface. -t option defines the recording time in milliseconds 1 second = 1000 milliseconds 5 seconds = 5000 milliseconds 1 minute = 60 seconds = 60000 milliseconds 1 hour = 60 minutes = 60 x 60 seconds = 3600 = 3600000 milliseconds example: raspivid -o ./vid1.h264 -h 600 -w 600 -rot 180 -sa 50 -t 10000
