search through the stored images and select one for full screen playback.
While an image is displayed full screen you can magnify it by pressing the Zoom-Telephoto
button. Once magnified you can scroll around inside of it
using the 4-way selector. You can enlarge up to 12x in 0.1x steps.
Movie clips playback fullscreen, the 4-way selector acts as the start, stop and

A very limited play mode menu, one option for initiating an automatic slideshow.
The DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) printing information is enabled by pressing the 4-way
controller "Up."

Page two of the Setup menu lets you set screen effects, the video format (NTSC or PAL), background
color, set the Sleep timeout value (90s, 1m, 2m), LCD brightness or Reset to factory defaults.
The World Time function is great when traveling to other countries or time zones, you can choose to have their local time displayed while taking pictures or during playback (Display time in 62 cities & 28 time zones). |
