The compact, lightweight FarView video magnifier can be used to capture and store images and text which can then be enlarged to read with ease in the playback mode.  The speed of scrolling can be set to individual comfort and the device will automatically return to the beginning of the next line and continue scrolling.  The FarView Magnifier can also be used as a live video magnifier to help view information in real time.  The camera is centrally positioned for intuitive reading and it can be used for both reading and writing. The contrast and brightness can be adjusted to optimise clarity of viewing and the magnifier has a range of semi-colours to choose from to make reading easier.  The Electronic magnifier is supplied with rechargeable batteries which give 2.5 hours of continuous use in Live View and up to 4 hours in Playback mode.  It is also supplied with USB and VGA connections  to enable connectivity with a PC or VGA monitor to benefit from a larger screen size.
