iOS Screenshot with video overlay?

Hello there

I am using this code to overlay a custom size video preview window to a
Quartz2D screen:

Code:

    [self setCaptureManager:[[CaptureSessionManager alloc] init]];
	[[self captureManager] addVideoInput];
	[[self captureManager] addVideoPreviewLayer];
	//CGRect layerRect = [[[self view] layer] bounds];
    CGRect layerRect = CGRectMake(0,360,320,120);    
	[[[self captureManager] previewLayer] setBounds:layerRect];
	[[[self captureManager] previewLayer] setPosition:CGPointMake(CGRectGetMidX(layerRect),
                                                            CGRectGetMidY(layerRect))];
	[[[self view] layer] addSublayer:[[self captureManager] previewLayer]];
	[[captureManager captureSession] startRunning];

and also this code, to capture screenshots:

Code:

          //  if ([[UIScreen mainScreen] respondsToSelector:@selector(scale)]) {
          //  UIGraphicsBeginImageContextWithOptions(self.window.bounds.size, NO, [UIScreen mainScreen].scale);
          //  } else {
          //  UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(self.window.bounds.size);
          //  }
          //  [self.window.layer renderInContext:UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()];
          //  UIImage *viewImage = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext();
          //  UIGraphicsEndImageContext();
          //  UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum(viewImage, nil, nil, nil);

Problem is, when the live camera feed is on the screen, but it is not present
in the screenshots when I check them in the Camera Roll.
I want the camera preview to be captured in the shots.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
Cheers, Art.

I'm a beginner, but it might be that the camera feed is happening in a different view or something. The camera code is in the view controller.m file,
while the snapshot code is in the same file all the drawing is done "Draw2D.m".
