Yuan Camera offers a pure photographic experience by omitting automatic optimization features, ensuring images are delivered directly from the camera sensor. This addresses the common issue where photos may not align with their previews.

One standout feature is the Reference mode, allowing users to select a template photo to replicate. This enables direct comparison with the template during shooting, enhancing precision and creativity in photography. Another notable addition is the ability to lock exposure compensation by clicking on the preview and adjusting it by dragging up or down. For instance, users can decrease brightness compensation by dragging down, enriching the ambiance of their photos.
