When you flip the switch to playback mode, the camera will take you to the last image captured. By pressing the display button on the back, you can change the amount of information displayed about the photograph, including no information for viewing on an external source.

Toggling the zoom lever to the Wide angle position brings up the thumbnail index mode with 12 images displayed per page. Continue to press the control and you can bring up 30 images per page or the Calendar index. This allows you to quickly sort though saved images.

The image can be magnified up to 16x in 4 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 selector buttons.
