If you shot your picture at the highest resolution and need it for email or web use, and don't have time to resize it on your PC, the F1 offers a Resize option. Using it allows you to create a smaller 3M, 2M or VGA sized image. The image is saved as a new file, so the original is not effected.
You can adjust the White Balance of an image in-camera.
As well as adjust the Brightness (gamma) of an image.
Here you can see the playback of a movie, which is saved in .MOV format with H.264 compression. It gives you "VCR" like
