Does this mirror have the ability the become normally magnified, as opposed to the 5X? Worried I may get tired of constant magnification.

Only one setting and that is constant at 5X, which is perfect for putting on makeup.

No, magnification is fixed. However it is optimally set for makeup, and does not over-magnify your face.

It is set to 5X magnification, you can't flip it around to normal view but my wife has a large regular mirror on her makeup table so it's not an issue. She says the SimpleHuman mirror is the best she has ever used.

No, there is no normal magnification, only 5X. This mirror is really a great mirror! I don't miss having a smaller magnification mirror.
889602
No. I wish it had a flip side that isn't magnified but it doesn't. I use the wall mirror behind it at my dressing table for hair, etc.

The mirror always magnifies 5X. It is helpful in plucking stray hairs and putting on eye makeup.

I have never used it that way as I keep this one for travel, and the batteries last a very long time. I have a different 10x mirror at home (Bed Bath & Beyond has a large selection).

All teleconverters add another layer of glass and will distort the photo somewhat. With the 1.5X or the 2X, it won't be as much as the 4X or the 10X, but usually there is a slight curve around the outside of the lens (like a slight fisheye)

This has no adjustment for that, other than the focus. I've used it with and without glasses, and it's pretty much the same. You'll probably want to use this without glasses, because unless you have your eye pressed to the lense, this is useless at 40x.

This is not my experience. My mirror is fabulous. I see no distortion on the "sides". Granted, with 15x magnification, you cannot look at the mirror from a distance. You have to be up close. I bought two of these mirrors. One for my Mother and one for myself. No regrets...would most definitely buy it again.

I recently had cataract surgery and I am now farsighted. Standard 5X magnification didn't help at all, so I went for the highest one I could find. If a 5X doesn't work at all for you, go for the highest magnification.

Hello,The large surface has no magnification at all and is meant to be just a lighted vanity mirror. Hope this helps!

I'm so sorry I can't answer your question at this time. The mirror was installed in our Florida condo and we are back home for the summer. Honestly, I would not purchase this mirror again. Too bulky and the magnification is not good.

Sorry just reading this email. Not sure what you mean by this anyway. If you mean on the magnified side? Just like any other magnified mirror does. I love this mirror. Great for my 49 year old eyes. :) Hope you like what you get or already have.

Hello :) The large mirror surface has no magnification at all. The small mirror that can be swung (for lack of a better word. I'm super tired) forward has I believe 10x magnification. I'll double check. If I'm wrong I will let you know right away as I'm going to check now.

I would say no. While using a similar 55-185mm on my T3i, I was getting vignetting the more I zoomed, starting around 90mm. I would have to recheck since, I've only used it twice, and the last time I touched it was late June.

Nope. Actually it's different from other shower mirrors I've used in that it doesn't have the "zoom" effect. And I realize you're trolling :P

No, it is not but I find it hasn't been a problem. It is very clear and large enough to compensate for the lack of magnification. I have a smaller portable mirror I keep in my backpack that has a 8x magnification & a normal 1:1 mirror.

My mirror has no distortion. My main use is for brow shaping and it works great. Due to the magnification sometimes my eyes need to focus but once they do the reflection is perfectly clear.

Yes the magnification is great the only problem is the small mirror falls out after a few uses because the mirror heats up from the light ... I still use it with a gaping hole in it lol

Yes if the man needs magnification of 5x or 10xs. Very clear mirror w adjustable neck that works well.

Shelly, I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you're asking? I don't believe I said anything about "power". I was very disappointed with the mirror. The lighting is fine. The 5X mirror is very distorted for me. I can't use it. I use just the lights and another makeup mirror. The mirror does plug in.
