Using Your VAIO Computer

Fn

+

(F10)

: zoom

Changes the screen resolution to magnify/restore your computer's screen view.

✍

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

to the computer screen with a higher resolution.

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 your computer's screen view is magnified, switching the view to the external display disables the

function and restores the standard view.
