Description
At the time of writing, queueing of multiple captures in QImageCapture is explicitly disabled in the FFmpeg backend (QFFmpegImageCapture). This means if you try to call QImageCapture::capture() while another is pending, we return a capture-request ID of -1 and we signal an error.
Support queueing of still photos could be beneficial. We should look into how we can support this usecase, and how it might be done.
A related feature that we can consider is supporting burst-capture of still photos. Apple and Android platforms supports taking burst captures, where we only lock in auto-focus once, and then we take multiple photos in quick succession with the focus locked in. This is a popular feature in native camera apps on mobile devices.
