Programmatically taking picture that is wider than iPhone display

Hi,

I am trying to programmatically take a wide-angle/horizontal picture (as if the phone was being held horizontally) with an iPhone that is in the vertical position.

It doesn't necessarily have to be the same aspect ratio as an iPhone in the Horiztonal position, it just has to be as wide or wider than that.

There is no UI while the picture is being taken so there is no need to present what the picture will look like on the screen while it is being taken.

Has anyone done this before or have any ideas about how it can be done?

This probably has to us AVFoundation but I am not sure.

Thanks, Dan
