From the node's README

> ### TakePhoto
> 
> This node is to take a photo in a given format directly from the Raspberry Pi Camera. Using the Filemode the image of the photo is stored into the file-system and **msg.payload** will give you the path and the filename including extension to the photo. In Buffermode the image will reside as a buffer in **msg.payload**. For the possible parameters see documentation under [picamera parameter settings](https://picamera.readthedocs.io/en/release-1.13/index.html).
