Enhanced Vision

Amigo Advanced Features and Functions 1

Getting Started

Congratulations on your new Amigo from Enhanced Vision. This handheld

electronic video magnifier has a stand for table reading or can be held for

viewing nearby objects. Small enough to easily carry with you, the Amigo is

ideal for magnification on the go. A convenient carrying case is provided for

transport.
Featuring a built-in LCD screen, the Amigo allows you to magnify images up

to 30 times. You can adjust the display of live images and image captures

based on your personal preferences, including magnification, brightness and

color filters, color combinations, lines and masks, and edge effects.
You can pan live and still images for extended viewing, as well as pan saved

snapshots. With 40 GB of storage, you can keep many images on the Amigo,

and if you run out of space, you can back them up to a flash drive using the

USB-C port.
An overview of the buttons and other components of your Amigo is shown

on the following two pages to help you acquaint yourself with the device. A

review of

Instruction Basics

(page 4) will help you understand the device and

quickly grasp the instructions found in this book.
