## What it is
PBJVision is an Objective-C camera library for iOS built on AVFoundation, offering touch-to-record video, slow motion capture, and photography with customizable gestures and UI. It is the Objective-C counterpart to the Swift library Next Level.

## Use cases
- add vine-style touch-to-record video capture to an ios app
- record slow motion video at 120fps on iphone
- capture photos with a custom camera interface
- build a snapchat-like camera with gestural recording
- customize camera controls like flash, focus, exposure, and white balance
- implement onion-skin ghosting of the last recorded video segment

## When to choose
- you need an Objective-C camera capture library for iOS
- you want Vine/Snapchat-style touch-to-record interaction
- you need slow motion or customizable camera UI without building on raw AVFoundation

## When to avoid
- your project is in Swift and you prefer the maintained Next Level counterpart
- you need cross-platform camera support beyond iOS
- you require actively developed features, as the project is in maintenance mode
