When you switch on VisioBook, it is always in auto focus mode. That means, no matter how thick a book or how curved a page, VisioBook will always focus on the part displayed and thus always present a sharp image on the display.

The standard colours are: black-white, black-yellow, black-cyan, black-green, black-magenta, blue-white and blue-yellow.
