A.Lens optics mean that light converges on the glass's focal point. Beyond this point, light diverges opposite to its incidence, inverting the image.
Q.How do u get the ipod touch out of magnify mode?
A.To return to normal size, tap the screen twice or pinch your fingers in the opposite direction. If it seems frozen, restart. Hold down power button.
