Amigo Advanced Features and Functions 1
Getting Started
Congratulations on your new Amigo from Enhanced Vision. This handheld
electronic video magnifier has a stand for table reading or can be held for
viewing nearby objects. Small enough to easily carry with you, the Amigo is
ideal for magnification on the go. A convenient carrying case is provided for
transport.
Featuring a built-in LCD screen, the Amigo allows you to magnify images up
to 30 times. You can adjust the display of live images and image captures
based on your personal preferences, including magnification, brightness and
color filters, color combinations, lines and masks, and edge effects.
You can pan live and still images for extended viewing, as well as pan saved
snapshots. With 40 GB of storage, you can keep many images on the Amigo,
and if you run out of space, you can back them up to a flash drive using the
USB-C port.
An overview of the buttons and other components of your Amigo is shown
on the following two pages to help you acquaint yourself with the device. A
review of Instruction Basics (page 4) will help you understand the device and
quickly grasp the instructions found in this book.

Instruction Basics
This section describes some Amigo basics and lays out standards to help you
quickly grasp the directions throughout this document.
Naming Conventions
When steps refer to a physical button on Amigo, the button name is
capitalized, such as the yellow Zoom In button.
When steps refer to text on a screen in the Amigo application, the text is
bold. For example, the Appearance menu is in boldface, as well as the Font
Size option and the Font Size screen.
Button Presses
This document refers to button presses in several ways, depending on the
function being explained:
•Press and release the button to perform a task, such as press the Zoom In
button to magnify the image.
•Press the button for a certain number of seconds to perform a task, such
as press the Power button for 4 seconds to power off the Amigo.
•Simultaneously press two buttons and hold for 0.5 seconds, such as press
and hold Zoom In + Zoom Out for 0.5 seconds to go to the Panning mode.
Note: Button presses are not queued, so wait until the system has responded
before pressing another button.
User Interface Conventions
You can anticipate certain user interface conventions while learning your
Amigo:
•Sound feedback is only provided for the camera shutter sound when
capturing a snapshot or adjusting the volume level. Amigo has no haptic
feedback.

Enhanced Vision
Amigo Advanced Features and Functions 5
•One Sans Serif font is available between 24 pt and 72 pt, and 28 pt is the
default. You can change the default font size using the Font Size screen, or
you can change it dynamically while you are in Menu view by pressing and
holding Zoom In + Zoom Out for 0.5 seconds, then pressing either Zoom In
or Zoom Out to change the font size.
•No bold, italics or underline are available. The default color combination is
white on black. True color is always available.
•The default view is Live view, showing the image currently seen by the
camera.
•Disabled functions are not displayed. If you have panned as far right as you
can go, for example, then the button hint for moving right is not shown.

Using the Amigo
Amigo can be used for many tasks whenever you need to magnify an image.
You can hold it to check store labels, read restaurant menus, or magnify
anything nearby.
When you extend the stand, you can read material directly beneath Amigo or
you can write directly behind it. This section provides examples of Amigo’s
uses and describes how to open and close the stand.
Open the Stand
To open the stand, place each hand on either side of the device and pull out
the stand to extend it.

Enhanced Vision
14 Amigo Advanced Features and Functions
Close the Stand
To close the stand, hold Amigo so the display faces you. Firmly hold the sides
of the device while squeezing the legs into the body until they snap closed.
Note: When closing the stand, ensure your fingers are outside of the
recessed area on the rear of the Amigo to reduce the risk of your fingers
getting pinched.
Reading
You can either read objects while holding the device or you can extend the
stand and place the device on top of the reading material.
When you read with the stand exended, place the paper directly under the
device on a stable, level surface. By default, an illumination LED on the back
of the Amigo shines on the viewing area.
When you read, you can improve the visibility of the text being displayed by
changing the color mode and level of magnification.

camera is ideal for spotting labels, price tags, or receipts while carrying the
device.

viewing.
