How to disable/Hide the UIImagePickerController Camera shutter in iPhone app?

Question

I searched lot in google and tried my level best but, still i cant fix this issue. I want to disable or hide the UIImagePickerController Camera shutter when it is opening. I searched in google and got advice to use AVCaptureSession. But, in my app i used CustomOverlayView in UIImagePickerController Camera with some buttons. In this case i want to disable or stop to show the Apple's Camera shutter. Simply the user won't to see the camera shutter when they pick the Camera UIImagePickerController. How can i do this? Can you please help me to solve this problem. Thanks in advance.

I have seen some apps cover it up with their overlay, but you can't remove it. AVCaptureSession really does sound more appropriate for your purposes. I see one example here:
