 +You can use the built-in ''raspistill'' tool or make up your own in your choice of code language. 
 + 
 +Example with ''raspistill'' : 
 + 
 +<code bash> 
 +$ raspistill -w 1920 -h 1080 - t 10000 -tl 1000 -o image%04d.jpg 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +This will take FullHD shots at 1 second interval for 10 seconds, naming them with 4-digit incremental numbers. 
 + 
 +If no ''-w'' and ''-h'' options are provided, the Raspberry Pi will default to taking full sized pictures : 4056 x 3040 which will weigh approx. ~6 MB each. Also note that a Pi 4 will not be able to take these effeciently at an interval ~< 2s. 
 + 
 +''raspistill'' has a lot of options and effects that can be activated/parametered, have a look at ''raspistill --help'' or ''man raspistill''
