Using the Buttons (PLAY)
This chapter describes the following playback functions:
• viewing photographs
• deleting unwanted photographs individually
These functions can be accessed using the zoom buttons (▼▲)
and the three buttons below the control panel. The options
available in the playback menu are described in the following
chapter.
Follow these steps to view or delete photographs stored on the
memory card:
1
Turn the mode dial to PLAY. The most
recently recorded image will be displayed
in the LCD monitor.
2
View the other photos in memory one at a time, or select the
photo you want to view from a menu of preview images.
• To view photos one at a time:
Use the zoom buttons (▼▲) to view photos one at a time.
Press the zoom-out button (▼) to view photographs re-
corded before the current photo, or press the zoom-in
button (▲) to view images recorded after the current photo.
Hold either button down to scroll quickly to a particular
frame number without viewing intervening photos. The
photograph displayed will not change, but the frame number
at the bottom right corner of the LCD monitor will increase
or decrease rapidly. Release the zoom button when the
desired frame number is reached to display the photo.
The MONITOR button
The MONITOR button controls the LCD monitor. Press the MONITOR
button once to hide photo information, a second time to turn the monitor
off, and a third time to turn the monitor on with information showing.

Tips
By default, only photographs in the current folder are displayed in playback
mode. To select another folder for viewing, or to view photos in all folders,
use the FOLDERS item in the playback menu (see “The Camera Menus: The
Playback Menu,” below).
If there are no photographs in the current folder, the message, “card
contains no image data” will be displayed. Select another folder using the
FOLDERS item in the playback menu. If there are no photographs in any
folder, you will be able to use the playback menu (see below), but you will
not be able to play images back.
Photographs selected for full-size display are shown briefly at low resolu-
tion while they are being read from memory. This feature allows you to
page rapidly through the photographs in memory without waiting for every
item to be displayed at full resolution. Before the image is displayed at full
resolution, the screen will briefly go black.
The first and last photographs in memory are linked. Pressing the zoom-
in button (▲) when the last photo in memory is selected takes you to the
first photo; pressing the zoom-out button (▼) when the first photo is
selected takes you to the last photo.
