I think so, here is the code:

-(BOOL)startCameraPickerFromViewController:(UIViewController*)controller usingDelegate:(id<UIImagePickerControllerDelegate>)delegateObject

{
	
    if ( (![UIImagePickerController isSourceTypeAvailable:UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera])
		
		|| (delegateObject == nil) || (controller == nil))
		
        return NO;
	
	
	
    if(imagepicker == nil){
		imagepicker = [[UIImagePickerController alloc] init];
	
    imagepicker.sourceType = UIImagePickerControllerSourceTypeCamera;
	
    imagepicker.delegate = delegateObject;
	}
	
    //picker.allowsImageEditing = YES;
    // Picker is displayed asynchronously.
	
    [controller presentModalViewController:imagepicker animated:YES];
	
    return YES;
	
}

imagepicker is deallocated in the dealloc function of my parent view controller.

Now, after a person takes a photo I do the following:

- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingImage:(UIImage *)image editingInfo:(NSDictionary *)editingInfo{
	
	//we need to save each image and then show it in the interface!
	int row = (self.numPhotos / 4);
	int mod = self.numPhotos % 4;
	
	UIImageView *imageview = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithImage:image];
    [imageview setFrame:CGRectMake(mod * 80.0, row*120.0 + 120.0, 80.0, 120.0)];
	[self.view addSubview:imageview];
	
	[imageview release];
	
	self.numPhotos = self.numPhotos + 1;
	[self.navigationController dismissModalViewControllerAnimated:YES];

}

From running instruments I see that after I take the image, 8MB or so of space is taken up. But that space never gets released. So each time I take a photo, the memory goes up to hit 40MB which then causes the crash.

What am I doing wrong here? How do I clear the data taken by the UIImagePickerController class so that I'm not causing a crash after 5 pictures?

Cheers
