UIImagePickerController get image in an inherited - iphone

Question

I searched the internet for a solution but unfortunately I'm not able to find a solution to my problem.
Most people are creating an object of the UIImagePickerController class but I decided to do this on different way.
I created a new class CameraViewController this class extends of the UIImagePickerController.
My .h file:
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#interface CameraViewController : UIImagePickerController <UIImagePickerControllerDelegate>
-(void)captureImage;
#end
My .m file:
#import "CameraViewController.h"
#define CAMERA_TRANSFORM_X 1
#define CAMERA_TRANSFORM_Y 1.5
#interface CameraViewController ()
#end
#implementation CameraViewController
- (id)initWithNibName:(NSString *)nibNameOrNil bundle:(NSBundle *)nibBundleOrNil
{
self = [super initWithNibName:nibNameOrNil bundle:nibBundleOrNil];
if (self) {
// Custom initialization
}
return self;
}
- (void)viewDidLoad
{
[super viewDidLoad];
UIView *view = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 320, 568)];
UIButton *btnCapture = [[UIButton alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake((320/2)-(76/2), 480, 76, 76)];
[btnCapture setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:#"cam.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
[btnCapture addTarget:self action:#selector(captureImage) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
[view addSubview:btnCapture];
self.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
self.showsCameraControls = NO;
self.navigationBarHidden = YES;
self.wantsFullScreenLayout = YES;
self.cameraViewTransform = CGAffineTransformScale(self.cameraViewTransform, CAMERA_TRANSFORM_X, CAMERA_TRANSFORM_Y);
self.cameraOverlayView = view;
//[self openCamera];
// Do any additional setup after loading the view.
}
-(void)takePicture //overwrite take picture method
{
[super takePicture];
NSLog(#"%#", self);
}
-(void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
NSLog(#"%#", info);
}
-(void)captureImage
{
[self takePicture];
}
- (void)didReceiveMemoryWarning
{
[super didReceiveMemoryWarning];
// Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}
#end
I implemented the delegate UIImagePickerControllerDelegate. But it seems that my imagePickerController is not called for some reason. In this method I try to log a NSDirectory. So I thought maybe I can get my image by overwriting the takePicture method, but I have no idea how. Anyone know how to help me? Thanks a lot

From apple docs The UIImagePickerController class supports portrait mode only. This class is intended to be used as-is and does not support subclassing.
So you can't subclass UIImagePickerController.
