Playback Modes & Menu Options



Minolta DiMAGE Xi

Play mode screen. When you flip the Rec/Play switch to the Play position the last image captured is displayed full screen with overlay data for file folder and number, image resolution and quality, time and date.

Note the left index finger in the shot (top left) - VERY easy to do if you don't hold the camera properly - as the lens is on the top left corner of the camera.

Pressing the Monitor button toggles between the full screen display, full screen w/out overlay and the index mode shown above.

The playback image can be enlarged 1.5x to 4x by pressing the telephoto zoom button. Once an image is enlarged you can scroll around inside of it.
