✍

 

 

The magnified view is not as clear as the standard view, as it is implemented by applying a lower resolution

 

 

to the LCD screen with a higher resolution.

 

 

This key combination is disabled during video playback. Make sure to quit such software before pressing

 

 

the key combination.

 

 

This key combination 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 standard

 

 

view is restored because pressing this key combination changes the resolution.

 

 

When the LCD screen view is magnified, switching the view to the external display disables the function

 

 

and restores the standard view.
