– white letters on a black background.   

  Semi-colours 

– five high contrast false colour modes. 

 
If the mode button is pressed while in any reading mode the 
unit will change to photo mode.  If the mode button is 
pressed again within 3 seconds the next mode will be 
displayed.  However if the button is pressed after 3 seconds 
the unit will return back to the original reading mode.  This 
feature allows a quick view in photo mode.  The 3 second

Magnification 

Press the Zoom-Up button to enlarge the image and Zoom-

further two seconds at maximum optical zoom will allow the 
unit to continue zooming digitally.  Digital zoom is indicated 
by an 

“xD” symbol in the top left corner of the screen.

as an aid to location.  Place the point of interest under the 
dot and press any key to restore the magnification to the 
previous level.

limited range over which the camera can focus.  Raising the 
camera too high (greater than 30cms from the base of the 
camera to the page) or placing the camera too low (less 
than 25cms from the page) will mean the camera cannot
