Reading mode
Camera faces down
Place documents, books, labels, or mail underneath and read using the built-in stand for a steady, comfortable view.
Distance mode
Camera faces forward
Point forward to magnify signs, noticeboards, price tags, whiteboards, and objects at a short distance.
Writing mode
Camera angled down
Hold the RUBY 7 HD to the side while writing — see your hand and the page clearly without the device blocking your work.
Self-view mode
Camera faces the user
Rotate the camera to face you for a mirror-image self-view — useful for personal grooming and appearance tasks.
