## Description

Magnifier / Magnifying Glass turns your device into a portable magnifying tool. A slider lets you zoom up to 4x, showing a real-time magnified image on screen, and you can use the camera's flash as a flashlight for better visibility.

Perfect for reading small print in books or newspapers, examining tiny objects, or having a mini pocket microscope on hand. Note: Continued use of the flash can reduce battery life.
