REVIEW controls,
display & menu
 |
This is the LCD in Review mode, the file number (running sequence number) is shown top left along with the date and time of the shot and the mode (the little icon on the right). Softkey options are Delete and Magnify. Magnifying the image you can scroll around it using the four-way controller (you can't magnify until the camera has loaded the full image from the CF card.. about 12 seconds). |
 |
Magnifying 2x, you can go one more level in (3x magnification), which again causes a refresh delay as the camera "paints" the higher resolution image. |
 |
Pressing DISPLAY switches to this (rather limited) thumbnail mode which gives you three thumbnails and status information about the selected information. At this stage I'd decided that either Kodak or Flashpoint (Digita authors) hadn't spent any time at all preparing the new O/S for the DC290, why couldn't we have a 3x3 thumbnail display??? Sigh. |
