Playback Screens & Menus





Note: Do to the FE-120 not having video output capabilities, these screens were taken from similar Olympus models as well as the owners manual. Some settings may differ.

After you take a picture or when you switch to Playback mode, the last image captured is displayed full screen with a minimal amount of overlay information.
