When you move the sliding mode switch o the Playback position, the last image captured is displayed full screen. This is a usual playback image with minimal information enabled. The "music note" indicates that there is a voice memo attached, and the "key" shows that this image is protected.

Here's a playback image with the Info option enabled which displays the image quality (SH), image size (3M), exposure compensation (0.0), white balance (Auto), date and time of capture, and the folder name and file number.

Press the wide angle zoom button to enter the Index playback mode. Depending on the menu setting, the index is 4, 9, 16 or 25 images per page.

The playback image can be magnified in six steps from 1.5x to 4.0x in 0.5x increments, you can then scroll around the image using the jog dial. Press the telephoto zoom button to enlarge and the wide angle button to shrink.
