I'm just wondering if any thoughts have been or would be given into looking at adding a time delay option to the camera, you know where you can press the button, stand in front and 5 - 10 secs later it takes the pic?

I'm not sure if it would be an easy script to add in?

Shoot photo after 10 seconds

The camera application must be off for it to work. And of course the camera shutter must be open...gst-launch comes with gstreamer-tools (or gst-launch-0.10 and gstreamer0.10-tools)

/bin/sleep 10 ; /usr/bin/gst-launch v4l2camsrc device=/dev/video0 num-buffers=1 \! video/x-raw-yuv,width=2592,height=1968 \! ffmpegcolorspace \! jpegenc \! filesink location=/home/user/MyDocs/DCIM/photo.jpg

To shoot from the front camera, change /dev/video0 to /dev/video1 and the proper resolution:

/bin/sleep 10 ; /usr/bin/gst-launch v4l2camsrc device=/dev/video1 num-buffers=1 \! video/x-raw-yuv,width=640,height=480 \! ffmpegcolorspace \! jpegenc \! filesink location=/home/user/MyDocs/DCIM/photo.jpg
