Does the UIImagePickerController have a black bar at the bottom by default?

Question

I have a simple UIImagePickerController where I hide the camera controls and set the sourceType to the camera. This opens a live preview right now, but at the bottom of the preview window is a black bar with a height of 50 pixels. Any idea how to get rid of this?

Thanks to Usman for the link. The attitude seems to be slightly different from what is offered on the blog. The 1.23 ratio works for iPhone 4 and 4s. In addition, in order to maintain aspect ratio, I suggest scaling both x and y.

picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init]; picker.sourceType = sourceType; picker.delegate = self; picker.allowsEditing = NO; picker.showsCameraControls = NO; CGAffineTransform cameraTransform = CGAffineTransformMakeScale(1.23, 1.23); picker.cameraViewTransform = cameraTransform;

I believe this is due to the difference in the proportions of the camera and the screen of the iPhone.
