When you press the Play button, the last image captured is displayed full screen. It shows the date/time the image was taken, folder name/file number and the battery level indicator. Pressing the OK button in the center of the 4-way controller toggles the amount of exposure information displayed with an image. Here you can see extended information for image size/quality, white balance, metering, ISO, shutter speed, aperture, and the histogram display, or press it again to see no information at all.

You can quickly search through stored images using the Index playback function which is activated by pressing the wide angle zoom control. Nine thumbnail size images will be displayed and you can select one using the 4-way controller and then pressing the Ok button. Pressing the wide angle again will then take you to a calendar where you can choose your photos by the date they were taken. From the calendar mode you can press the green button to bring up a list of folders on the memory card.

You can magnify an image up to 8x by pressing the telephoto zoom control. Using the 4-way selector you can move around inside the enlarged image.

To enter the playback menu, press "Down" on the 4-way controller.
