Usage tips 
Reading 
Reading is best done in positive or negative mode. These modes adapt the image for the 
visually impaired to a high-contrast image with improved background. Background and letters 
can be set at your discretion. The background can be set by means of background 
suppression. This will allow you to filter out the structure of a sheet. This unique KOBA Vision 
function allows you at all times to set a contrasty background without annoying paper 
impurities. A newspaper can be read without annoying paper impurities. Factory settings will 
take you back to the original settings. 
Watch photos 
Photos are best watched in photo mode. This mode is a unprocessed image without contrast 
enhancement. Using the buttons contrast, brightness and colour, you can adjust the image so 
that the photo becomes clearly visible. Factory settings will take you back to the original 
settings. 
Crafting 
Crafting is best done with a small enlargement. It is better to select a dark background during 
this activity so that the camera is not hindered by large differences in contrast with whatever 
is darkened by the hands.  
Writing 
You can also write under your video magnifier. It is best to use a black pen and lined paper. 
Readhelp 
This readhelp is extremely useful for visually impaired people suffering from tunnel vision. The 
readhelp consists of a reading line and a reading bar. This help allows a horizontal line or bar 
to appear. This will keep you from confusing lines in the text (vertical confusion). The reading 
line can be set to take on different colours. It is adviseable to select a line with a colour that is 
different from the text. The read help can only be activated in the negative and positive 
reading mode. 
Factory settings 
The factory settings button was especially provided to be able to return to the original settings 
at all times. This means that you can always return to the original settings after having 
adjusted contrast, background, colour, brightness, zoom, etc.

Video magnifier - computer 
Switching between video magnifier and computer  
The video magnifier screen can be used as a computer screen. There are two options:

 If video magnifier and computer are both plugged into the HDMI input of the screen, 
you can easily switch between them by keeping the big round central turning knob
