The 2.5-inch color LCD is used for accessing the menus and reviewing captured images - it
cannot be used as a viewfinder. To the right of the eyelevel finder is the e-dial which in
playback functions as the Index and Zoomed View dial. The AE Lock button in playback
is the image Protect button. The 4-way controller/OK button lets you navigate menus and
select images during playback. The Fn button calls up the onscreen Function menu (see
below).
The MENU button enables the onscreen menu system. The DELETE (trashcan) button is for
erasing images. The INFO button in record displays camera and exposure settings
(see below), in playback it toggles display of exposure data or histogram.
The PLAYBACK button puts the camera into review mode.
