Casio EX-Z77 Review

Pressing the Play button brings up the image last captured. The default information is displayed: 7 megapixel, file number, battery level indicator, and time and date of capture are shown. Pressing the 4-way controller left or right scrolls through the stored images. A "musical note" icon (not shown) indicates there is an audio memo attached, press the SET button to play the audio.

Pressing the DISP button enables the display of the exposure data: EV compensation (0.0), ISO used (ISO 50) Best Shot mode used (Auto), flash mode, white balance (AWB), metering, Aperture value (f5.7), Shutter speed (1/320) as well as the histogram.

The playback image can be magnified up to 8x when you press the telephoto button. You can scroll around inside of the enlarged image. Pressing the wide angle button will shrink it back down again.

Here you can see the playback of a movie, which is saved in .MOV format. It gives you "VCR" like buttons to control Rewind, Play, Fast-Foward, Stop, and volume.
