Display & menus continued

 |
| Play mode default display, a line of basic information showing filename, date & time stamp and quality setting. You can also view your images free of any information overlay |
One of the three alternative play mode views includes a histogram display and exposure information. There is also an overexposure warning (in the form of blinking gray areas on the thumbnail). |
 |
 |
| The S80 provides play magnification up to to 10x (as shown here). You can move around the image using the four-way controller. |
Press the zoom controller towards the wide angle to switch to a 3x3 thumbnail index. Note that you can also enable JUMP mode which allows you to step through a full page of nine images at a time. |
 |
 |
| Turning the multi-function 'wheel' in playback mode lets you scroll very quickly through thumbnails ordered by date. It's neat - and fast. |
The S80 has lots of neat new interface effects, including a new slide show function, which
features very professional-looking TV-style transition effects and is
unusually customizable. Nice if you like to hook your camera up to the
television. |
 |
 |
| You can add up to 60 seconds of 'voice memo' to each saved file. |
Pressing the Menu button in play mode brings up a page of the usual file delete/protect/slide show options, plus DPOF print ordering. |
 |
 |
| The set up menu is pretty standard Canon, offering you control over various camera-related settings - power, audio and card formatting. |
Finally, as is now standard on Canon's consumer models, the 'My Camera' screen allows you to customize the camera with your own start-up screen and sound. |
