You can move backward or forward through the images using the LEFT and RIGHT buttons or sliding your finger across the screen. The amount of overlay information displayed is controlled by pressing the DISP button. You can choose from no info, basic info, a full detailed list of settings with histogram or a close up view to check focus. This view also will show you all faces that were detected in the photo.
