UIImagePickerControllerDelegate to Swift?

    if UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.Camera)
    {

        var imagePicker = UIImagePickerController()
        imagePicker.delegate = self
        imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.Camera;
        //imagePicker.mediaTypes = kUTTypeImage
        imagePicker.allowsEditing = false

        self.presentViewController(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)

    }

I can't seem to convert to kUTTypeImage to swift, if I comment out this line the camera launches, but the screen is black. Any ideas? This is the objective C syntax:

imagePicker.mediaTypes = @[(NSString *) kUTTypeImage];

The code marked as the correct answer no longer works in Swift 4+ because some changes have been made.

UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.Camera was changed to UIImagePickerController.SourceType.camera and self.presentViewController(...) to self.present(...)

Here is the same code that works for Swift 4+:

if UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(UIImagePickerController.SourceType.camera)
    {

        let imagePicker = UIImagePickerController()
        imagePicker.delegate = self
        imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerController.SourceType.camera;
        imagePicker.allowsEditing = false

        self.present(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)

    }

To add both movie and image, you could do this.

let availableMediaTypes = UIImagePickerController.availableMediaTypesForSourceType(.Camera)
self.imagePickercontroller.mediaTypes = availableMediaTypes!

You would notice you could either navigate to a video or capture image button when the imagePickercontroller has been presented. Following that just check the type of mediatype in the delegate method "didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo"

To define kUTTypeMovie you could use:

imagePicker.mediaTypes = [String(kUTTypeMovie)]

I have tested those codes in XCode6 beta5, and found the following error:

fatal error: array element cannot be bridged to Objective-C

Thread 1:EXC_BREAKPOINT(code=EXC_ARM_BREAKPOINT, subcode-0xe7ffdefe)

The reason is that we can't assign an array with objects to imagePicker.mediaTypes like this in XCode6 beta5:

imagePicker.mediaTypes = [kUTTypeImage]

I initialized the array with object through the init function, and it works fine now↓↓↓

imagePicker.mediaTypes = NSArray(object: kUTTypeImage)

Apparently it was this simple:

if UIImagePickerController.isSourceTypeAvailable(UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.Camera)
{
    var imagePicker = UIImagePickerController()
    imagePicker.delegate = self
    imagePicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceType.Camera;
    imagePicker.mediaTypes = [kUTTypeImage]
    imagePicker.allowsEditing = false

    self.presentViewController(imagePicker, animated: true, completion: nil)
}
