The application supports encrypted photo capture and storage exclusively on your device, ensuring that only you can decrypt them, even including us. So, please remember your encryption password carefully. You can comfortably take photos and store them without worrying about the encrypted images being leaked, even if someone else gains access to them. The application incorporates dual-layer security, with one layer for the app itself and another layer for image encryption.

The camera only allows user to set the flash on and off when taking pictures. When shooting, the original photo and the sepia-toned photo are saved at the same time. ~Simple operation like old disposable cameras~
