HardwarePlayback
Playback and image scrolling are speedy, though the slideshow is weak.
Playback Mode
We found that moving through the pictures was quick and easy: even the index screen with 140 images on it comes up quickly. The controller wheel on the back of the camera also allows you to quickly scroll through a long set of photos, rather like flicking through a long list of albums on iTunes.
Photos can also be categorized with a number of pre-set categories, including People, Scenery, Events and To Do, as well as 3 custom categories. These categories cannot be altered or redefined, but they do provide a useful way to categorize photos for later viewing or sorting.
A basic slideshow feature is also offered, with a choice of 7 transition effects and the ability to control how long photos are shown for. You determine which images are shown by filtering by date, category or by creating a favorites list.

In-Camera Editing (6.50)
A basic, but adequate, set of image editing tools are offered by this camera. Images can be rotated, red-eye corrected, trimmed and resized. The My Colors color processing described above can also be applied after shooting, and this may be the best way to do it, as it preserves the original image if you do not like the result. Videos can also be trimmed, and again this is non-destructive: the original, un-trimmed video file remains available.
Direct Print Options (5.00)
Two forms of direct printing are available: DPOF and PictBridge. DPOF allows you to flag images on the memory card for printing: when you then insert this into a compatible printer, the images will be selected and printed. You can also set a number of options here, including the number of copies and if the date and time will be printed on the image
