Pentax Optio 430rs Review



Playback Screens & Menus
The LCD screens that you see in this review had to be photographed as there is no video out-
port that we normally use to capture the displays with. LCD monitors on any camera were
never designed with enough resolution to be photographed. So we hope you understand why these
screen captures are not up to standard.
Pressing the OK / PLAY button toggles the Playback mode and brings up the last image captured
in full screen mode with limited overlay information.

Pressing the DISPLAY button toggles the realtime histogram display which also
shows the image size, quality level, white balance, metering mode, ISO speed, exposure, and
date/time of capture.

Pressing the Wide Angle Zoom button while in PLayback brings up the thumbnail index mode, here
you can quickly 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 telephoto
side of the zoom lens control. Once magnified you can scroll around inside of it
using the 4-way selector.
