Epson L-500V




Playback Screens & Menus

(Note: Please excuse the poor quality of these screen captures, the L-500V does not have audio/video output.)


Epson L-500V

When you rotate the Mode dial to the Playback position, the last picture taken is displayed. You can move backward or forward through the images using the LEFT and RIGHT buttons. The amount of overlay information displayed is controlled by the Info Disp function in the playback menu. This frame shows the "Basic" information, across the bottom is 6/12 which means image 6 of 12 total, and the time/date of capture.

Choosing the "Detailed info" option enables the extended exposure information screen. Here you can see icons for exposure compensation, ISO speed, white balance, file number, scene mode used, flash mode, image size/quality, aperture, and shutter speed.

You can quickly search through stored images using the Index playback function which is actuated by pressing the Wide zoom control button. Twelve thumbnail size images will be displayed and you can select one using the 4-way controller and then pressing the OK or Telephoto zoom buttons.

The image can be magnified up to 20x in 1x steps by pressing the telephoto zoom button. Once the image is enlarged at any step, you can move around inside of it using the 4-way controller.

Movie clips are played back full screen with audio thanks to the built-in speaker. Once you start playing a clip, you get "VCR-like" buttons to control the playback.
