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.
