Playback

Playback Mode

Playback mode is standard fare. Fullscreen with shooting details and histogram is available and can be zoomed in up to 10x. In the other direction, grid mode is available in 2x2 or 3x3, followed by your choice of calendar or folder mode. The interface is clearly labeled and simple to get a hang of.

In-Camera Editing

Pentax's collection of in-camera editing options includes all the usual options. Resize, crop, rotate, red-eye reduction, etc. They're all here. But the most fun will be had with the Digital Filter option, which allows the application of effects like sepia, toy camera, and color extract. This is also the location of the S1's voice memo option, which allows a sound clip of any length to be associated with a particular image.

Direct Print Options

DPOF is supported for pharmacies and one-hour photos, however Pentax cameras do not support the popular PictBridge standard. This makes printing at home a little tougher than it could have been.
