Typical Playback screen. When you press the Play/Review button the last image captured is displayed full screen with overlay data for file folder and number, image resolution and quality, time and date.

Pressing the 4-way controller Down will display the thumbnail index mode shown above. You can quickly search through your images and select one for full-screen display.

A full-screen image can be enlarged 1.2x to 6x in 0.2x steps by pressing the telephoto zoom button. Once an image is enlarged you can scroll around inside of it using the 4-way selector.

Once you have captured a photo, you can rotate the image by pressing the 4- way selector "Down".

Image pasting allows you to select a template (rectangular, circular, heart, speech bubble, mouse ears) and then overlay this on top of an already captured image and insert a new image into the first picture. The position and size of the template can be selected before you paste the second image. The new montage is now combined in the camera and saved as a new image.
