❑
Magnify button (Zoom)
You can change the image resolution in all applications, except in those that use the MOTION EYE Camera or the DVD player.
✍
When an external display is connected to your computer, the Magnify button is disabled.
The default resolution of your computer's LCD is 1280 x 768 pixels, Highest (32 bit), and the resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels is applied after magnification.
The magnified view is implemented by applying the resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels to the LCD with the resolution of 1280 x 768 pixels, thus not as clear as the original view.
Pressing the Magnify button changes the resolution, thus may cause a defect to any running software that does not support change in resolution. Make sure to quit such
software before pressing the Magnify button.
The Magnify button may not work with graphic images as it magnifies the screen view by changing the resolution.
The location and size of software windows may change when the screen view is magnified or the original view is restored because pressing the Magnify button changes
the resolution.
When the LCD screen view is magnified, switching the view to the external display disables the function and restores the original view.
