The Info display on the typical record screen does not contain much info as the top monochrome LCD gives you most of the info. Above is the typical Manual Record screen and the only difference with the Auto screen is the "M". There is no indication when the shutter release is half depressed as to where the focus area is like many other digicams have. The only other info we get from the screen is the Macro mode indicator, the 'shaking hand' indicating a warning of slow shutter speed and Self Timer activation (not shown). There is no indication in Manual mode of the exposure compensation or sharpness settings.

The last picture captured is displayed full screen when you turn the Mode Dial to the Play position. The amount of overlay information includes Image size and quality, the folder and file number and the date and time of capture are displayed. This info can be toggled off and on by depressing the OK button in the center of the 4-way navigation control.

Pressing the center of the 4-way jog switch enables the thumbnail index mode. You can quickly search through your stored images and select one for full screen playback.

You can enlarge the image 4X by pressing the zoom control to the telephoto position. Once the image is magnified you can then scroll around inside of it using the 4- way navigation control. This is good for checking critical focus, color or composition on the small color LCD screen.

Pressing the MENU button while in Play mode brings up these screens of options. You can adjust LCD brightness, start a slideshow, copy from internal memory to a SD card, protect images from erasure, mark images for DPOF printing and Exit the menu.
