How to call Xrm.Device.captureImage multiple times?

Hi,

I'm trying to use the Xrm.Device.captureImage function but with a better user experience, as currently if users takes many photos, its a slow process having to do these steps for each photo:

Click Take Photo button
Take photo on tablet camera
Confirm the photo taken

So, I would like to call the Xrm.Device.captureImage function until the user click on Cancel when taking photos.

I have done few test, and I'm not able to do in a simple do/while loop, as when the captureImage is called on second time, it throws exception from captureImage function

Error: Operation is being aborted by user. Media content wasn't captured.

As you see, I'm adding the photo taken as annotation to an account

this.takePhoto = function () {
		
        Xrm.Page.data.save();
		 
		let i = 0;
		
		do {
		
		i = i   1;		
		
		 Xrm.Device.captureImage().then(
		 
		 function success(result) {
		 
				var patt = /[^.] $/;
				var match = patt.exec(result.fileName);
				var photoTitle = "Photo - ";
				var note = Object();
				note["mimetype"] = result.mimeType;
				note["objectid_account@odata.bind"] = "/accounts("   Xrm.Page.data.entity._entityId.guid   ")";
				note["documentbody"] = result.fileContent;

				var d = new Date();
				var t = d.getHours()   '.'   d.getMinutes()   '.'   d.getSeconds();
				photoTitle  = t;
				note["subject"] = photoTitle;
				note["filename"] = photoTitle   "."   match[0];
				
				Xrm.WebApi.createRecord("annotation", note);
				
		
		 },
		 function (error) {
		 // Show Error
		 Xrm.Utility.alertDialog("Error :"   error.message, null);
		 }
		 );
		
		
		
		} while (i < 3)
}
