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.
