Correct way to customize media capture here using Assets Library.

Simple way (in some cases) is using overlay view with frame size of whole screen and add controls on that view which simulate navigation bar.

    if (_pickerOverlay == nil) {
    _pickerOverlay = [[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:self.view.bounds];
    //red transparent tint for demo
    _pickerOverlay.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithRed:1.0
                                                     green:0.0
                                                      blue:0.0 alpha:0.6];

    UIButton *btnBack = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeSystem];
    btnBack.frame = CGRectMake(20, 20, 250, 40);
    [btnBack setTitle:@"Custom buttom" forState:UIControlStateNormal];
    btnBack.backgroundColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
    [_pickerOverlay addSubview:btnBack];
}

UIImagePickerController *picker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
picker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
picker.showsCameraControls = NO;
picker.cameraOverlayView = _pickerOverlay;

[self presentViewController:picker animated:YES completion:nil];

Thank you. I need, how can I set the frame for the cameraOverlayView ? Because the camera view start from top edge(no navigation, status bar). I don't want like this, I need how to show navigation bar with cameraOverlayView ? Please give your suggestions. — Mani, Nov 19 '13 at 06:43
@Mani In your case you should create custom view controller and get media capture features with AV Foundation Library. Docs [here](https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/AudioVideo/Conceptual/AVFoundationPG/Articles/04_MediaCapture.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010188-CH5-SW2) — Ilia, Nov 20 '13 at 05:48
