Hi Chris,

you can make your own CameraController using AVFoundation to accomplish it. Important Keywords are e.g. AVCaptureDevice, AVCaptureSession & AVCaptureInput. If you decide to make your own CameraController you have also the advantage to design the interface as you want it to be.

I also picked a tutorial for you. It's very well written but you have to be careful because it's in Swift 1.

Happy Coding, Moritz
