# maxBracketedCaptureStillImageCount

Specifies the maximum number of still images that may be taken in a single bracket.

```
var maxBracketedCaptureStillImageCount: Int { get }
```

## Discussion

AVCaptureStillImageOutput can only satisfy a limited number of image requests in a single bracket without exhausting system resources.

The maximum number of still images that may be taken in a single bracket depends on the size of the images being captured, and consequently may vary with AVCaptureSession -sessionPreset and AVCaptureDevice -activeFormat values.

Initiates a still image capture and returns immediately.
