1. What is LifeStyle CANDY GRIP?
LifeStyle CANDY GRIP is a handheld electronic video
magnifier that helps people with low vision to read
printed materials like personal mail, magazines,
newspapers, restaurant menus, product catalogs,
medicine bottles, grocery items and much more.
In addition to magnifying, LifeStyle CANDY GRIP can
change the text and background color to enhance the
image contrast for a more comfortable reading. You can
select among 5 color modes.
The continuous digital zoom magnification feature
allows you to change the magnification level from 1.5x
to 22x. The auto focus feature helps to keep a sharp
image while moving the camera across the line of print.
CANDY GRIP’s ergonomic three-position handle is
designed to be held comfortably by either right-handed
or left-handed users. Hold the handle in the center
position or at a 45-degree angle.
