INDEX Screen

The images you shot can be displayed together with their index information. Convenient for checking images shot beforehand, the INDEX Screen also shows the Picture quality as well as which images are protected against accidental erasure.

1: Index number

Index numbers are marked from 1. For example, when 10 images are stored (index number: 1 to 10), if three images with index numbers 2, 4 and 6 are deleted from memory, the remaining images are automatically moved up to fill any gaps in the numerical sequence. Therefore, the number of remaining images is 7, and the new index numbers range from 1 to 7.

F/S: Picture Quality

Displays the quality of the stored image. There are 2 modes available: FINE and STANDARD (in order of quality) ( pg. 14).

Selected Image
