Sony DSC-M1 Review
Playback Mode Screens & Menus
When you switch to Playback mode, the last image captured is displayed full
screen. The Playback screen has icons for image size, folder number, picture
number / total number of pictures. Across the bottom is the folder name-image
file number, and date & time of capture.
Pressing the Monitor button toggles the display of the extended exposure information and
includes: exposure compensation, ISO speed, flash mode, white balance, aperture, shutter
speed and the histogram. Press it again to clear all of the overlay information for
playback on a TV screen.
While viewing a picture fullscreen you can toggle the telephoto zoom control and
zoom-in to the image in multiple steps up to 5x. Once magnified you can scroll around
inside of the image using the 4-way selector.
Playback index mode, nine thumbnail size images are displayed per page. You can
quickly search through the stored images and display one full screen. The "film
frame" icon indicates a movie and the Still (white square) with the "film frame"
