UIImagePickerController.frame is not full screen

I'm initializing an UIImagePickerController like this: 

    self.cameraController = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];

    self.cameraController.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera; 
    self.cameraController.showsCameraControls = NO;
    self.cameraController.navigationBarHidden = YES;
    self.cameraController.wantsFullScreenLayout = YES;

The problem is that when this is shown, instead of the camera controls, I get a black bar in its place.

How can I make UIImagePickerController.frame take all the screen space?

Thanks!

Ole is spot on, figure out that aspect ratio conversion. Here is the line of code you are probably going to want to implement it.

self.cameraController.cameraViewTransform = CGAffineTransformScale(CGAffineTransformIdentity, 2, 2);

The iPhone's camera has a 4:3 aspect ratio whereas the iPhone's screen's aspect ratio is 3:2. Therefore, the live camera picture does not cover the entire screen. If you want to get rid of the black bars, you have to apply a small scaling transform (e.g. 110%) to the camera view.
