Abstract: A method (50) and system for a digital reading glass (10) in a camera phone can include, a display (22), and a processor (11) coupled to the camera (14) and display. In addition, the digital reading glass can further include a light source (16 or 18). The light source can be adjustable as to maintain a predetermined brightness level. The camera phone can further include a dedicated button (26) for entering the magnifying glass mode. The processor can be programmed to selectively operate during a magnifying glass mode to have a substantially constant level of magnification regardless of focal length. The processor can also be programmed to provide image stabilization (58) during the magnifying glass mode and track image registrations (60) in an X, Y and Z direction. The processor can also be programmed to use motion detection for scrolling a previously captured image.
