Apple iPod touch iOS 7.1 - Manual (Page 123)

Appendix A Accessibility 123
Zoom in or out. Double-tap the screen with three fingers.
Vary the magnification. With three fingers, tap and drag up or down. The tap-and-drag gesture is
similar to a double-tap, except you don’t lift your fingers on the second tap—instead, drag your
fingers on the screen. Once you start dragging, you can drag with a single finger. iPod touch returns
to the adjusted magnification when you zoom out and in again using the three-finger double-tap.
Pan around the screen. While zoomed in, drag the screen with three fingers. Once you start
dragging, you can continue with just one finger. Or hold a single finger near the edge of the
screen to pan to that side. Move your finger closer to the edge to pan more quickly. When you
open a new screen, Zoom goes to the upper-middle of the screen.
While using Zoom with an Apple Wireless Keyboard (see Use an Apple Wireless Keyboard on
page 24), the screen image follows the insertion point, keeping it in the center of the display.
Invert Colors
Sometimes, inverting the colors on the iPod touch screen may make it easier to read. When
Invert Colors is turned on, the screen looks like a photographic negative.
Invert the screen’s colors. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Invert Colors.
