Steves Digicams - Fujifilm FinePix S9000

Playback Modes & Menus

Rotating the Power / Record / Play switch to the Play mode brings up the last image captured full screen with only minimal details.

Pressing the INFO button on the side displays the exposure information including image size/quality, ISO value, shutter speed, aperture, color mode, sharpness, saturation, flash mode, white balance and exposure compensation. You also get a small histogram, file number and the time and date.

Pressing the DISP button toggles image display with text, image display without text, multi-frame playback and sorting by date. Using multi-frame playback you can quickly search through the captured images to display one full screen, depressing the 4-way selector buttons to move among the images.

Sorting by date gets you directly to those images shot on the date of interest regardless of the number of images stored on the memory card. Use the 4-way selector to select the date in the left frame.

Pressing the 'up' button on the 4-way selector magnifies the image, there are many steps, the slider gauge tells you where you are currently. You can pan around inside of the image using the 4-way selector; hit the Back button to return to using the up and down buttons to control zoom.

You can replay your movies full screen on either the color LCD or EVF. And you can also play them back on your TV when using the supplied A-V cable. Those big 640x480 30fps movies look great on the BIG screen.

The Play menu lets you delete the current picture, ALL pictures, rotate, set the DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) information, protect this/all images, control playback time, add a 30-sec Voice Memo to an image and trim the image.

Trimming is invoked from the Display menu while viewing the unzoomed image. At any zoom-in step you can pan around the image until you have it cropped the way you want it and then trim it and save it as a smaller size image.
