You have got to modify your file path each time. Once way of doing this is below (I don't have 2020 so I cannot modify your snippet)

You could also use your iteration terminal to generate the file suffix but as I am guessing you don't always want to be recording an image to file I am guessing that will not be quite what you are after.

I also polling a button isn't the most efficient way of handling button presses. Research the event structure and for a more efficient and scalable alternative.

A classic solution is to generate a filename from the time stamp, so it's named something like 211201-1515-332.jpg (todays date, 24h time, millisecond)

Another option is to use the increment file name generator built into LabVIEW since 2018(?)
