# isDualCameraDualPhotoDeliveryEnabled

A Boolean value that specifies whether to configure the capture pipeline for simultaneous photo capture with both cameras on a dual-camera device.

```
var isDualCameraDualPhotoDeliveryEnabled: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

Enabling this property (on a supported device) allows the capture output to deliver separate images from both the wide-angle and telephoto cameras in a single capture.

Dual photo delivery requires that a capture session set up its internal rendering pipeline differently. If you intend to capture with dual photo delivery at all, set this property to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> before calling the [`AVCaptureSession`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureSession) [`startRunning()`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureSession/startRunning()) method. Changing this property while the session is running requires a lengthy reconfiguration of the capture render pipeline: Live Photo captures in progress will end immediately, unfulfilled photo requests will abort, and video preview will temporarily freeze.

You must enable this option before initiating a photo capture with the [`isDualCameraDualPhotoDeliveryEnabled`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCapturePhotoSettings/isDualCameraDualPhotoDeliveryEnabled) property of your photo settings object set to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>. However, after you’ve enabled this option, you are free to issue photo capture requests both with and without dual photo delivery.
