■Protect and delete images. When viewing thumbnails or a single page image, press the Protect button to preserve the image against accidental deletion (a key icon is overlaid over the full-page image; press Protect again to remove protection).

■Exit image review. Tap the shutter release button or press the Playback button to exit image review. You don’t have to worry about missing a shot because you were reviewing images; a half-press of shutter release automatically brings back the D7000’s exposure meters, the autofocus system, and, unless you’ve redefined your controls or are using manual focus, cancels image review.

Working with Calendar View

When you’re in 72 thumbnail mode, pressing the Zoom Out button one more time takes you to calendar view, where you can sort through images arranged by the date they were taken. This feature is especially useful when you’re traveling and want to see only the pictures you took in, say, a particular city on a certain day.

■View dates and images taken on that date. A yellow highlight box appears around a selected date in the date list calendar, as shown in Figure 3.14. When there are images available that were taken on that date, a scrolling thumbnail column appears at the right of the screen. The thumbnail column disappears if there are no photos taken on the highlighted date.

■Change dates. Use the multi selector keys to move through the date list.
