Magnifier

Zoom in, brighten, and find words to aid your vision when you need it.

Use your camera to magnify small text, see object details, or zoom in on faraway text like street signs or restaurant menus behind a service counter. Search for words within pictures you take in order to find what you need on a menu, a departure board, or anything containing text. Apply visual effects to make low contrast text more visible. In low light environments brightness is automatically adjusted. You can also take photos and zoom in as much as you need.
