Framiva brings adjustable composition guides and hands-on camera controls to still photography on iPhone. COMPOSE YOUR PHOTOGRAPH Choose from 32 guide families, including rule of thirds, golden spiral, symmetry, leading lines, perspective, and framing ratios. Search the library, keep favorites, and adjust orientation, color, opacity, and supported geometry. Guides follow your phone's orientation while the camera interface stays in place. START WITH AUTO Auto keeps the viewfinder and essential controls close at hand. Adaptive Auto responds to measured light and helps protect highlights. Shot guidance checks exposure and steadiness. Take when ready lets you arm one photograph and cancel it at any time. TAKE CONTROL IN PRO Adjust ISO, shutter speed, exposure compensation, focus, white balance, tint, and zoom where supported by your camera. Use graduated controls, presets, fine adjustments, or type an exact value within your lens's range. Save and recall named shooting setups. SEE YOUR LIGHT AND FOCUS Use RGB and luminance histograms, waveform, RGB parade, clipping indicators, zebras, edge peaking, a focus loupe, and a horizon level. These are viewfinder aids: composition guides and monitoring overlays are never added to your photographs. SAVE AND SHARE ORIGINALS Capture HEIF or JPEG, with RAW and Apple ProRAW available on supported cameras. Review the latest photograph and its capture metadata, save it to Photos, and share the original file. Automatic flash, physical lens switching, and a 3-, 5-, or 10-second timer are available where supported. LOCAL BY DESIGN Framiva requires no account and includes no advertising or tracking. Image analysis runs on your iPhone. The optional microphone meter displays digital audio levels without saving audio files. Framiva is a still-photo camera. Available lenses, formats, and manual controls depend on your iPhone and active camera. Monitoring and shot guidance are aids, not guarantees of exposure or sharpness. Save or share unsaved photographs before closing the app; recent-photo storage is temporary.
