My camellia bed is on the north side of my house. But my house is not
square on the compass. The north side gets some morning sun. The most
easterly camellia provides some shade, partially protecting the others
from the morning sun. That one is the least vigorous of my plants,
often showing leaf burn and even die-back.

That's my experience, too. I had a camelia on the north-east corner of my
house. It got only morning sun in winter but, come summer, it got morning
sun for a couple hours, then some shade, and then by mid afternoon, it had
come out of the shade and and into full sun. It had burnt leaves and was
just generally unattractive.

AFIK, camelias do best with only *MORNING* sun or shade. YMMV...
