Software
Flash Raspberry Pi OS to micro SD card. Then add following lines into config.txt:
gpu_mem=256
dtoverlay=rpi-display
display_rotate=2
For application, simply execute this script after boot:
from gpiozero import Button
from picamera import PiCamera
import time
button = Button(26)
with PiCamera() as camera:
camera.resolution = (4056, 3040)
camera.framerate = 5
frame = int(time.time())
camera.start_preview()
while True:
button.wait_for_press()
camera.capture('/home/pi/Pictures/%03d.jpg' % frame)
frame += 1
