Sample:

The following sample shows how to snap an image and save it to a TIFF file.

if( m_Grabber.isLive())
{
    // This cast is only valid, if we have previously assigned a FrameHandlerSink to the grabber.
    tFrameHandlerSinkPtr pSink = static_smart_ptr_cast<FrameHandlerSink>(m_Grabber.getSinkTypePtr() );
    Error err = pSink->snapImages( 1 );
    if( !err.isError() )
    {
        DShowLib::saveToFileTIFF( *pSink->getLastAcqMemBuffer(), "Testimage.tiff" );
    }
}
