Playing Back Images
Reviewing images is a joy on the Nikon D7000’s big three-inch LCD. The display is
big and bright, and there is abundant detail on that 920,000-dot, VGA-resolution
screen.
Here are the basics involved in reviewing images on the LCD screen (or on a televi-
sion/HDTV screen you have connected with a cable). You’ll find more details about
some of these functions later in this chapter, or, for more complex capabilities, in the
chapters that I point you to. This section just lists the must-know information.
Start review. To begin review, press the Playback button at the upper-left corner of
the back of the D7000. The most recently viewed image will appear on the LCD.
Playback card. If you have two memory cards installed in your D7000, you can
change which card is used for playback by holding down the BKT button (located
underneath the Flash button on the front of the camera) and pressing the multi
controller up button. A dialog box appears that allows you to highlight and select
the slot and folder you want to use. I would have preferred just holding down the
BKT button and pressing the left/right keys to swap slots, but the extra step is nec-
essary to allow you to choose a particular folder in addition to the slot to be used
for playback.
Playback folder. Image review generally shows you the images in the currently
selected folder on your Secure Digital card. A given card can contain several fold-
ers (a new one is created anytime you exceed 999 images in the current folder). You
can use the Playback folder menu option in the Playback menu (as I’ll explain in
Chapter 8) to select a specific folder on one of the two memory cards, or direct the
D7000 to display images from all the folders on the memory card(s).
