# preservesLivePhotoCaptureSuspendedOnSessionStop

A Boolean value that indicates whether to preserve the suspended state of Live Photo capture when the session stops.

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

## Discussion

This value defaults to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>, which means that Live Photo capture resumes when the session stops. Set the value to <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true> to save the state of the [`isLivePhotoCaptureSuspended`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCapturePhotoOutput/isLivePhotoCaptureSuspended) property across session restarts.
