iOS Programming 27: Custom Camera View & Taking Photos 

Any chance you could do something like this in Swift? 99CentsAppDevelopment

One of the best tutorial for a piece of code !! Amazing work ! :)

Your video was very helpful for me! Nice job!!

I found an error with this tutorial, that I'm sure others will have too. The outputted image you captured is not the same resolution as the camera feed shows. Even though it looks like you took a square sized picture, the output is still a normal portrait image that is stretched, no matter what you set the UIImage to be in storyboard. The way around it is to crop the outputted image programmatically using code. You can view the code at my github. Username is cragworks. Titled: customcamera_cropped_image_4by3_output

code from video: gist.github.com/sebleon/228c091002a95dcf8898

This worked great, thanks for the tutorial! DO you have any guidance on doing exactly the same thing but to capture a video instead? Thanks

Could not get this code to work for my in Xcode 6. The way the camera is tied to the UIView did not work for me, it kept showing up on the wrong place. I had to use this instead: AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer *previewLayer = [[AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer alloc] initWithSession:cSession]; [previewLayer setVideoGravity:AVLayerVideoGravityResizeAspectFill]; previewLayer.frame = self.cameraFrame.bounds; [self.cameraFrame.layer addSublayer:previewLayer]; UIView *view = [self cameraFrame]; CALayer *rootLayer = [view layer]; [rootLayer setMasksToBounds:YES]; CGRect frame = self.cameraFrame.bounds; [previewLayer setFrame:frame]; [rootLayer insertSublayer:previewLayer atIndex:0]; pretty much the same except .bounds instead of .frame for the CGRect object.

I love this tutorial, however, AVPStillImageOutput is depreciated for iOS 10+. So, now it is AVCapturePhotoOutput.

Custom Camera View part 2: Adding Front/Rear camera switch ???

Modifying "[rootLayer insertSublayer:previewLayer atIndex:0]" to "[rootLayer addSublayer:previewLayer]" worked for me

Can you please show us how to link the photo library and possibly add effects to the image too?

This is great tutorial

thanks for your sharing! Can this project be implemented in solely swift?

Great tutorial! How would I capture a still image in a different viewcontroller from where the avcapturesession occurs ?

When I am trying to get front facing camera my image stuck out I know exact why I am setting indexat 0 when I change it to below or above my problems solve but I am nt able to get my graphic image inside by button which is in cam view. What I suppose to do now any suggestions.

Hi Jack, Thanks for the nice video, i Think ive done everything right but when i run the app on my iPhone i only see a black screen with the green battery percentage. Any idea what im doing wrong? Cheers Xcode highlights the line with the &error in green in xcode, not sure what this means.

So basically this is a custom way to use the phone's camera instead of using UIImagePickerController?

am trying to built the same in macos, how should i proceed?

I would really love to know how to save the photos to the Photo Library..

excellent

i want this coding for ios app in c# using xamarin and visual studio

Thank you so much :)

How can I switch to the front facing camera?

why is there no swift tutorials

how can i get raw file with this ?
