## What it is
A customizable iOS camera view built on AVFoundation, written in Objective-C, that overlays on any view controller and returns captured images via a delegate. It provides autofocus, exposure control, and a fully code-drawn, themeable UI for iPhone and iPad.

## Use cases
- add a custom camera view to my iOS app
- capture photos with a themed camera UI instead of UIImagePickerController
- overlay a camera on top of an existing view controller
- control autofocus and exposure while taking pictures
- get captured photos as UIImage or NSData via delegate callbacks
- build a camera interface that works on iPhone and iPad

## When to choose
- you need a drop-in, customizable camera UI in an Objective-C or Swift iOS project
- you want camera controls and appearance beyond what UIImagePickerController offers
- you need the camera view to overlay any existing view controller

## When to avoid
- you need video recording or advanced AVFoundation features
- you want an actively maintained library with recent updates and a declared license
- you prefer a Swift-native or SwiftUI camera implementation
