Pressing the OK/MENU button brings up this menu screen. The Left button will toggle the amount of overlay information displayed, the Down button employs the Histogram display screen, the Up button starts an automated slide show, and the Right button will take you to the full Play menu.

While viewing an image full screen, you can move the zoom control lever to the telephoto position and magnify an image from 2.0x to 5.0x (1x steps). You can move around the image using the 4-way selector to examine the picture for color, focus, etc.

Flipping the zoom control to the wide angle position enables the thumbnail index mode. Under the Setup menu, you can select to display 4, 9 or 16 thumbnails to quickly locate a desired image on your memory card. The green "movie camera" indicates that the image is a video file.

Pressing OK/MENU when the file is a movie brings up this menu of options. The INFO option works the same as with still images, it controls the amount of overlay information displayed at the start of a movie. The Mode Menu accesses the Card and Setup menus and the MOVIE PLAYBACK option allows you to play the movie in the camera.
