Answer 1

i had the same problem. i need to make the screen dim, but when turn off the camera, the iphone goes to sleep.

- (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewWillAppear:animated];
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setIdleTimerDisabled:YES];
}

- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated {
    [super viewWillDisappear:animated];
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] setIdleTimerDisabled:NO];
}

Then i call it after turn on/off the camera, it works.

[[UIApplication sharedApplication] setIdleTimerDisabled:YES];
