After selecting a zoom option, a selection frame appears; you can move the frame using the 5-way.
To move the frame in small increments, hold down the Shift key
while using the 5-way to move
left or right. Once you’ve selected the area you wish to zoom into, select it by pressing the 5-way.
Once you are zoomed in, you can use the 5-way to pan left, right, up and down within each page.
The black bars at the right and bottom of the display indicate which portion of the overall page you
are viewing. If you press the Next Page or Previous Page buttons, the page will change and the view
will remain zoomed in. Press the Back button to dismiss the zoomed-in view and return to normal
size.
Tip: To pan in small increments, hold down the Shift key
while using the 5-way.
Contrast — select a contrast option to increase or decrease the contrast of the PDF
document for easier reading. The contrast option you choose remains in effect for the
current PDF document until you change it.
