Playback Screens & Menus

By

Please excuse the quality of these screen captures. The SX40 kit does not include an AV cable, therefore we had to photograph the LCD for these screens.



canon_sx40hs_play_info.gifWhen you press the Play button on the back, the last image/video captured or viewed will be displayed full screen. The amount of information displayed is controlled by pressing the DISP. button on the back. You have four choices; No information (best for sharing photos with friends), Minimal information (File number, image number, Image quality, Time and Date), Extended exposure information (Exposure mode, Metering, Shutter speed, Aperture, ISO, White balance, Exposure compensation, File size, image size, Histogram), and Zoom AF-point Preview.





canon_sx40hs_play_index.jpgIndex mode can be accessed by pressing the zoom lever to the wide side. Canon gives you 4 sets of thumbnail images, allowing you to view 4, 9, 36 or 100 images at time.




canon_sx40hs_play_zoom.jpgPressing the zoom lever towards the telephoto position allows you to zoom in on an image for critical inspection. Once you have zoomed in, you can use the 4-way controller to navigate through the image. A small box on the right shows you what part of the image you are viewing.

canon_sx40hs_play_print_menu.jpgThe print menu gives you options to print one, some or all of your images directly to a printer from the camera.




canon_sx40hs_play_movie1.jpgPressing the SET button in the center of the 4-way controller will start playback of a video file, which you can watch on the LCD, or on your HDTV with optional HDMI cables.


canon_sx40hs_play_movie2.jpgMovie playback gives you all of the controls that you find on a DVR/VCR. You even have access to frame by frame and length editing options. Audio is played back on the camera's built-in speaker.
