Play and Review mode controls
Unlike other digicams the EX1500 has separated the
play and thumbnails mode into PLAY and REV, detailed below.
Play mode
Displays the image almost instantly,
if you look closely (no, closer than that) you can see the camera
is loading the full image over the top of the thumbnail it has loaded
first, once this is complete (about 7 seconds @ FINE) you can Zoom
into the image. Zoom mode on the EX1500 allows you to scroll around
the image using the four way controller.
The "menu" in Play mode lets you start
a Slide Show or set the Playback Rate.

Review (REV) mode
Review mode can only be accessed by holding down the
small green safety latch on the mode slider and sliding the slider
up to REV.
Review mode displays a series of
thumbnails horizontally with a slightly blown up version of the
image directly below along with image information, options are
Mark (mark for deletion or some other action) or Category (place
image into a predefined or custom category) for each image.
The "menu" in Review mode has various
actions.
