Introduction

Congratulations on receiving your new Compact 8 from Optelec. This
handheld electronic video magnifier has a stand for table reading, or it
can be held for viewing nearby objects. Small enough to easily carry
with you, the Compact 8 is ideal for magnification on the go. A
convenient carrying case is provided to protect the unit during
transport.
Featuring a built-in 8-inch LED
Compact 8 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 images while the camera is live or after you have taken a
picture. You can keep images on the Compact 8, later changing the
color mode or magnification for better viewing.
Wi-Fi can be enabled by connecting the Compact 8 to a smart
television or monitor with Miracast.
