The 2.663:1 viewfinder sits full width against the top edge. Every control lives in the black band beneath it; the only thing on the picture is the shutter, a pill that mirrors the Dynamic Island. Slide up or down on the picture for ±2 EV.
Riva's film settings open in the band: grade, halation, bloom, grain and light-leak tiles.
One stock. 4 decisions. A single Kodachrome 64 response across every focal length. The film settings hold a grade and the halation, bloom, grain and light leak levels. Tap a tile to step through it, as on the phone; the grade changes the picture.
Halation on a test chart: white patches glow, pure colours do not.The whites glow. The colours do not. Halation on a test chart: the fringes stay red and orange, and the warm-white core grows only around the source of light, as it does on reversal film.

Riva's split diopter controls: the split line on the viewfinder; near and far focus, which side is near, and blend in the band.
NearFar
Two distances, one frame. Riva takes one photograph at near focus and one at far focus, then blends the two halves before the film is developed. Drag the line to place the split; tap Near left to swap sides.
The Riva gallery with its Instagram menu open: one row of your grid as three posts, or one post with a white or black border, or two or three slides to swipe.Every frame waits in the gallery. The developed frame goes to Photos; the original and its recipe stay private to the app. Beside each frame, the Instagram menu saves a version Instagram will not cut.
  • White border
  • Black border
  • Two slides
  • Three slides
A frame Instagram will not cut. Instagram keeps a picture whole only between 1.91:1 and 3:4. The gallery saves a Riva frame on a 3:4 canvas with a white or black border, cut edge to edge into two or three slides that swipe as one picture, or as three posts that fill one row of your grid.
