To take a screenshot of a particular section of the screen at a given time use something like this

CGRect screenRect = CGRectMake(0, 0, 200, 200);
UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(screenRect.size);

CGContextRef ctx = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGContextFillRect(ctx, screenRect);
//you probably need an offset, adjust here
CGContextTranslateCTM(ctx, -20, -20);
[self.view.layer renderInContext:ctx];

UIImage *newImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();

//if you want to save this image to the photo album uncomment the next line
//UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(newImage, nil, nil, nil);
UIGraphicsEndImageContext();

Wrap all of this up in a method called takePhoto and you can just use NSTimer to trigger 

[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:5.0 target:self selector:@selector(takePhoto:) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];

Here's how to take a Screenshot of your Window:

For the rest:

[NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:1.0 target:self selector:@selector(count) userInfo:nil repeats:YES];

- (void)count {
counter++;
if (counter == secondsToWait) {
button.alpha = 0;
//Take Screenshot here
}
}
