Switch On/Off flash while recording the Video in iphone app

Question

I am recording video from my iPhone app.

I am using an overlay over the camera and placed a button in the overlay. I want to know with the help of which function can I turn camera's flash on/off while the video is being recorded.

How can I set a flash button in the camera overlay?

Answer 1

Assuming you are using UIImagePickerController (from your tag), use the cameraFlashMode provided by UIImagePickerController to control the flash.

You can set its value to UIImagePickerControllerCameraFlashModeOff, UIImagePickerControllerCameraFlashModeAuto or UIImagePickerControllerCameraFlashModeOn. Default is auto.
