UIImagePickerController has a black bar at the bottom by default?

Question

I have an simple UIImagePickerController where I hide the camera controls and set the sourceType to the camera. This opens the live camera preview right away but there's about a 50px hight black bar at the bottom of the viewer. Any idea how to get rid of this?

Answer 1

I believe this is due to the differing aspect ratio of the camera vs. the iPhone screen.
