AVFoundation camera tutorial [closed]

Question

Is there a basic tutorial for the AVFoundation for use with the camera anywhere?

UIImagePicker isn't the right tool for my app and it looks like this is but I'm not sure how to get it going.

I can kind of see how to take a picture using AVCaptureStillImageOutput but I can't see how to display the camera view onto the screen.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Oliver

If you're a registered Apple developer, session 409 (in the Graphics and Media section) of this year's WWDC is a very good tutorial: http://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2010/
