# AVCaptureDeferredPhotoProxy

A lightly-processed photo with data that the system may use to process and fetch a higher-resolution asset at a later time.

## Declaration

```swift
class AVCaptureDeferredPhotoProxy
```

## Overview

Overview A photo proxy behaves like a normal AVCapturePhoto, and approximates the look of the final rendered image. This object represents intermediate data that the system can render into a final image and ingested into the user’s photo library using the PhotoKit framework. The intermediate data aren’t accessible by the calling process.
