UIImmagine da AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer

Question

Sto cercando di catturare un'immagine fissa da un feed video (fondamentalmente una funzionalità di pausa o "istantanea"). Il mio progetto è configurato usando Benjamin Loulier's template. Il mio problema è che anche se visualizzo video a colori sullo schermo tramite il prevLayer (un AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer), ho impostato le impostazioni video in scala di grigi, quindi non riesco a ottenere un UIImage da customLayer (un normale CALayer).

Ho provato a utilizzare questa funzione data here, ma questo non funziona per AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer per qualche motivo stupido (si presenta chiaro/trasparente). Qualcuno conosce un metodo per salvare il contenuto di un AVCaptureVideoPreviewLayer come UIImage?

Una nota. minFrameDuration è obsoleto da iOS 5.0. Non sono sicuro del motivo o se c'è una sostituzione.
