Set the showsCameraControls-Property to NO.

    poc = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
    [poc setTitle:@"Take a photo."];
    [poc setDelegate:self];
    [poc setSourceType:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera];
    poc.showsCameraControls = NO;

You also have to add your own Controls as a custom view on the top of poc.view. But that is very simple and you can add your own UI-style by that way.

You receive the image-data as usually within the imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:

To take the photo, you call

[poc takePicture];

from your custom button.

Hope, that works for you.
