Here you can see an example of the live preview image on the LCD
just prior to taking a shot, note the wide 3-area AF composition
bracket in the center of the frame. Various settings information
is displayed along the top and down the right side of the display
(in this case):
Battery status, image size and quality, remaining frames, Memory
Stick status (bar graph), ISO 200 sensitivity, Macro focus, +0.7
EV compensation.

| Half-pressing the shutter release causes the cameras
autofocus and metering systems to lock, a steady green dot and green
AF brackets indicates a good AF lock and you can now see the exposure
shown on the right side of the display. Note the shake warning icon
because of the relatively slow shutter speed. |
After fully depressing the shutter release a brief review
of the image is shown while the image is flushed to the Memory Stick.
If you wish to review the image for longer you must remember to keep
the shutter release button depressed after the exposure. |
 |
 |
| Pressing the 4-way controller to the
left displays the last image taken as above. This display is instantly
interrupted by half-pressing the shutter release. |
An example of movie capture mode,
here the time indicator shows available space for a continuous 81
minutes 38 seconds at the current setting (160 x 120). |
Play display

 |
| Switching to play mode
immediately displays the last image taken. The P71 uses a "rough
thumbnail" initially while it loads the full resolution image
from the Memory Stick. |
After a second or so a
higher resolution image is shown. Note that you don't have to wait
for this image to be able to scroll between images using the 4-way
controller. Pressing DISP removes all overlaid information. In play
mode the lens will automatically retract after 15 seconds. |
 |
 |
| Pressing TELE on zoom magnifies
the image in several steps up to x5.0. Once magnified you can use
the 4-way controller to move around the image. In the examples above
you can see magnification of 2.4x and 5.0x. If you're magnified you
can also 'TRIM' a lower resolution image from the currently displayed
crop. |
 |
 |
| Pressing WIDE on the zoom
controller enters this 3 x 3 thumbnail view where you can scroll around
the images and perform various image manipulations. |
While in thumbnail view
mode pressing WIDE on the zoom controller once more enters this three
thumbnail information display mode which shows basic exposure information
for the selected image. Here we can see the exposure was ISO 200,
F4.5, 1/30 sec.. |
 |
 |
| Select ROTATE to rotate
the current image in 90 degree steps. This does not rotate the JPEG
file itself, instead it simply marks the correct orientation in the
files header. |
 |
 |
| RESIZE allows you to create a copy
of the current image at any lower resolution. |
An example of movie clip playback,
if we had used 320 x 240 HQX mode to record this clip it would playback
using the full screen. |
