1. What is CANDY4 HD
CANDY4 HD is a handheld electronic video magnifier
that magnifies small letters which cannot be seen by
people with low vision and presbyopia through a 4.3”
screen.
In addition to magnifying, CANDY4 HD can change
the text and background color to enhance the image
contrast for more comfortable reading. You can also
select among 5 color modes.
The continuous digital zoom feature with
magnification levels from 1.0x to 20x and a robust
Auto Focus feature make CANDY4 HD a breeze to
use in any environment.
