Research direction

Start with the picamera2 capture API and any existing user documentation for repeated image capture and camera controls. Confirm how continuous filenames and ISO selection are currently handled, then document both workflows with a clear example and verify that the instructions match the app's available controls.

Description

Also, if possible can you tell me how to add the ISO control option in the picamera2 app?

Thank you.
