Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC1 Review

Playback Screens & Menus

(All screens shown can be displayed on the EVF or LCD)

When you switch to Play mode the last picture captured is displayed full screen with some information overlayed; image size and quality, folder name, file number, picture # / total # of pictures and the time and date of capture.

Pressing the DISPLAY button toggles the extended image information which shows the exposure mode, aperture, shutter speed, ISO, flash mode, white balance, metering mode and histogram.

When an image is played back in full screen mode you can go into zoomed playback mode by rotating the Command Dial clockwise. There are four magnification steps from 2x to 16x and once the image is enlarged you can scroll around inside of it using the 4-way selector.

Rotating the Command Dial counter-clockwise enables the thumbnail index mode. There are 9 small images per page shown and quickly lets you locate any desired image on your memory card.

The Play mode menu has options for rotating portrait mode images, protecting images from erasure, setting DPOF print options, start an automated slide show, add an audio comment, resize pictures to a smaller size, trim (crop) and save images to a smaller size and format the memory card.
