Amazon allows merchants to display seven to nine product images per listing. It is highly recommended to do so and use all possible product image slots as online sellers usually have the problem of not being able to show the real product to the customer.
Show your product from different perspectives, show what it can or in use. Think about which angles make sense for the customer to see.
