iPhone 4's LED Backlight

Question

Hi there. I am trying to figure out how to use the UIIMagePicker or some way to use the iPhone 4's Backlight LED. I am trying to use a UIView with a button on it to turn the LED on & off without showing any video. Is this even possible? Any help?

EDIT

I've been using AVCaptureDevice class or at least trying to. When it comes to importing #import It tells me it isnt valid.

The code I am trying to use is http://twitpic.com/23lv9v

Answer 1

You have to enable the camera for that. Look at the AVCaptureDevice Class and possibly AVCaptureTorchMode and AVCaptureFlashMode.

Answer 2

you need to set [videoCaptureDevice lockForConfiguration:nil]; then you can turn on the torch...
