Entering playback mode without powering on and extending the lens

EX2F. May apply to others.

This may be well known, but the manual is not clear on it.  For anyone unaware, you don't need to remove the lens cap and power the camera on to playback/review photos or video. With the camera off, pressing the Playback Mode button will display them.

It escaped at least one reviewer. I don't recall now which review it was, but he was irritated that in order to review photos or show them to friends he had to take the lens cap off and and extend the lens each time. I checked the manual and it does fail to make clear that the Playback Mode button may be use with the camera 'off'.

Samsung EX2F
