# requestImageCapture()

Requests a manual image capture.

```
@MainActor func requestImageCapture()
```

## Discussion

If the session’s state is `.capturing`,
call this method to request an image be manually captured at the current location.
This function has no effect if the session is in any other state, or if [`canRequestImageCapture`](/documentation/RealityKit/ObjectCaptureSession/canRequestImageCapture) is `false`.
