Camera.SaveAsBitmap Method
Parent Object: CameraDescription
Method that saves the current camera view to the specified file. The width and height arguments define the aspect ratio and the number of pixels in the output image.
The CreateImage method is similar to this but instead of writing the image to a file it creates it in memory, which is more efficient than writing and reading if from disk if you need to use the image immediately.
