# High-Performance Camera Photographing Sample (for System Applications Only) (ArkTS)

This topic provides sample code that covers the complete high-performance photographing process to help you understand the complete API calling sequence.

Before referring to the sample code, you are advised to read [High-Performance Camera Photographing (for System Applications Only) (ArkTS)](camera-deferred-photo.md), [Device Input Management](camera-device-input.md), [Camera Session Management](camera-session-management.md), and [Camera Photographing](camera-shooting.md).

## Development Process

After obtaining the output stream capabilities supported by the camera, create a photo stream. The development process is as follows:

## Sample Code

For details about how to obtain the context, see [Obtaining the Context of UIAbility](../../application-models/uiability-usage.md#obtaining-the-context-of-uiability).
