## What is RilaCam?

RilaCam turns your iPhone into a pocket retro camera. Capture CCD shadows, early digital softness, or VHS scan lines and color drift for walks, friends, and trips.

PRINTER
Tap PRINTER, pick a photo, choose a filter and its strength, then press the shutter. The print slides out and is saved as a new photo; the original stays as it was. Stamps use the photo's own date, place, and shooting info, and prints can develop slowly. No physical printer needed.

WHITE FRAMES
Turn on the frame to give new photos and prints a white border: square, portrait, or landscape, without cropping the picture. You can have the place and shooting info written by hand on the bottom edge.

MANUAL CONTROLS
Use the shutter dial (1/4000 to 1/30 s by lens; photos down to 1 s), exposure compensation in 1/3 steps, and a 3, 10, or 30-second self-timer. Double-tap the dial for auto.

ZERO PROCESS
Turn it on in Settings › Capture to develop photos from a single RAW frame, without iPhone's multi-frame fusion, sharpening, or noise reduction, then apply your filter. Still saved as HEIF or JPG, with optional HDR on iOS 18+. Needs a RAW-capable lens.

CHOOSE A LOOK BEFORE YOU SHOOT
Preview filters live while you frame a photo or video, then adjust the intensity you want. RilaCam remembers each filter's intensity for next time. Star the filters you use most and they come first when you swipe the viewfinder. Filters, grain, and date stamps work on photos and on video with microphone audio.

KEEP THE DATE AND THE PLACE
Choose a CCD dot-matrix, quartz date back, soft film, or VHS stamp, set a custom date, or add focal length, aperture, shutter, and ISO. Optional place names need network access and location permission.

FRAMING AND CONTROLS
Pick from 5 camera bodies, then use composition guides, front and rear cameras, and device-supported zoom. On supported iOS 18+ hardware, Camera Control switches filters and adjusts zoom and exposure up to 10×. An optional Level and Histogram appear only in the viewfinder.

START WITH FIVE FREE FILTERS
CCD 2003, Pocket 4, Warm Date, Night CCD, and VHS 1994 are available without buying a filter pack. Preview other styles before you decide; saving with a premium filter requires its permanent pack or an active All Filters Monthly subscription.

YOUR WORK STAYS ON YOUR DEVICE
Photos and video are processed on-device. No account is required. Save to your iOS photo library, then view, play, and share it in the Album.

RilaCam supports iPhone with iOS 17 or later. Photos export in JPG or HEIF. Video offers 720p or 1080p when supported by the device. Pixels, lenses, zoom, and flash depend on the device and conditions.

SIX OPTIONAL FILTER PACKS
Buy any pack separately with a one-time payment for permanent access. No subscription is required. Purchases can be restored with the same Apple ID:
• CCD Classics: Aqua 2006, Flash Party, Silver Compact, and Green Memory.
• Digital Color: Tokyo Standard, Vivid 2008, Soft Portrait, and Candy Pink.
• Film Stories: Classic Slide, Negative 90, Nostalgia 1976, Mono 400, and Pastel 400.

Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm. The subscription renews monthly unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel it in your Apple Account settings. After cancellation, access continues until the paid period ends; permanently purchased packs remain available. The five free filters do not require a subscription.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7.0 — 2026-10-13

What's new in 1.7.0:

• Filter suggestions in Printer: pick a photo and tap Suggest filters to get up to four filters that fit, with a reason and a suggested strength. Filters you own come first. On supported iPhones, suggestions use Apple Intelligence on your iPhone: no cloud, and your photo is never uploaded. Other iPhones use built-in rules.
• Choose 12MP, 5MP, or 2MP photos (Settings › Capture). 5MP and 2MP look like early digital cameras; originals stay 12MP.
• CCD 2003 and Night CCD now add CCD smear: bright lights like street lamps and headlights leave a thin vertical streak.
• New Suggest filters section in Settings shows whether Apple Intelligence is on and how to turn it on.

### 1.6.0 — 2026-10-10

What's new in 1.6.0:

• Film Roll Mode (Settings › Capture): 24 shots per roll, and you don't see them until the roll develops the next day or when it's full. Photos stay in the app until then; share the whole roll as a contact sheet, then save it to Photos. You get a notification when it develops.
• New Film Roll tab in the album shows the roll in the camera and every developed roll.
• Focal lengths are back under every zoom button, and the 35mm crop at 1× now shows correctly without jumping.
• Shorter tour and settings descriptions.

### 1.5.0 — 2026-10-06

What's new in 1.5.0:

• New Night Cinema filter pack: Tungsten 800, Anamorphic, Super 8, and Push 3200, with red halos around lights, widescreen light streaks, a Super 8 weave while recording, and pushed black and white.
• Faster shutter: on supported iPhone models you can take the next photo right away instead of waiting for the last one to finish processing.
• Packs you own come first in the filter panel, when swiping, and in Camera Control: free, then purchased, then the rest.
• Printer: filters are grouped by pack with their names, place and shooting-info stamps come from the original photo, and prints can slide out and develop over 3, 5, or 10 seconds.
• Smoother preview when the camera changes lenses on its own, such as switching to the ultra-wide for close-up subjects.
• Zoom buttons now follow your iPhone's lenses, such as 3× or 5× telephoto, and the focal length shown under 1× is correct on iPhone 13 and earlier.
• When the device is warm or Low Power Mode is on, RilaCam now tells you that preview resolution is lowered. Photo and video quality is not affected.

### 1.4.5 — 2026-10-05

What's new in 1.4.5:

• New filter: Pastel 400 joins Film Stories, a soft portrait film with gentle pastels, teal greens, and bright skin. Film Stories owners get it at no extra cost.
• RAW 9 Noise Reduction (Experimental): on supported iPhone models such as iPhone 17 Pro with iOS 27 or later, turn it on under Zero Process in Settings › Capture. Machine learning reduces color noise in the RAW frame. Off by default.
• All Filters Monthly now has an intro price for the first month, for first-time subscribers.
• Simpler Settings: each group opens its own page, and Photo quality is now part of Capture. The white frame is set from the camera screen, and grain follows each filter's intensity.
• Swiping through filters: your favorites come first and also keep their place in their own pack.
• Fixed Camera Control getting stuck after opening Settings or the filter panel, and the zoom dial freezing with Zero Process on.

### 1.4.0 — 2026-10-04

What's new in 1.4:

• Viewfinder aids: turn on an optional Level and Histogram in Settings › Body and controls. They appear only in the viewfinder and are off by default.
• Camera Control: switch filters and zoom up to 10× (digital crop). Also fixes zoom and exposure controls that could stop responding or become stuck.
• Illustrated icons: built-in and five paid filter packs now have their own artwork.
• Filter panel: a tighter layout keeps its height steady as you switch packs, with the description, favorites, and PREVIEW button together.
