Pressing the VIEW button puts the camera into Playback mode and brings up the last image captured in full screen mode. The info strip across the top can display the exposure data or ...

just the time and date

Pressing the INFO button toggles between the full screen image and this Info screen with the exposure info strip across the top as well as time and date, metering mode, exposure compensation, image size, exposure mode, focus mode, focal length, white balance, image dimensions and exact file size.

Pressing the "-" button brings up the thumbnail index mode with nine images per screen. You can quickly search through stored images and display one full screen by pressing the "+" button.

Pressing the "+" button magnifies the full screen image in steps of 25%, 50%, 100%, 200% or 400%. Pressing the "-" button zooms back out to full screen. At any zoom point you can scroll around inside of the image using the 4-way selector.

The Playback menu options:

Lock - Lock (protect) or Unlock (unprotect) images

Mark - Mark or Unmark images for various reasons, identify favorites, select for slideshow or select for mass deletion.

Rotate - Rotate a portrait image 90°CW or 90°CCW

Slideshow - Display images in slideshow fashion

Portrait mode images can be easily rotated for proper display on the LCD or a television monitor.

Pressing the Delete (trashcan icon) button lets you immediately delete the current image. It also lets you un-delete the last image that you deleted. I've never seen this option before and I'm sure everyone will need it some day.
