Playback Functions

High-quality LCD gives you great viewing

Just press the "Playback" button on the camera back to switch the L1 to playback mode. Now you're ready to enjoy crisp, clear images on the L1's 2.5-inch, 207,000-pixel LCD monitor. Images are bright and easy to see, even outdoors on a sunny day.

Quick, easy playback

When you press the Play button the last image you shot appears on the LCD. You can then use the cursor control to select other images to view. Deleting a photo is as quick and easy as pressing the button. Using the command dial, you can set the camera to display 9 images or 25 images at a time.

Calendar Playback: View the photos you took on a particular day

The Calendar Playback function and command dial let you view all the photos taken on a particular day or days. View them one by one on the entire screen, or view 9 or 25 at a time.

Rotate Display function: For viewing vertical (portrait) shots

This function detects and records whether the photo is being shot horizontally or vertically, then automatically rotates all vertically framed images during playback.

Playback Zoom gives you a closer look

Using the command dial you can enlarge the playback image to 2x, 4x, 8x or 16x its original size. You can use the cursor button to select a particular part of the image that you want to enlarge. This gives you a good way to check image details, the focus, or a facial expression.

A host of great playback and image processing options to explore

Slideshow

Treat yourself and friends to a slideshow of all the photos you shot. Images look clear and bright on the L1's high-quality LCD monitor. Select 1, 2, 3 or 5 seconds or any desired time as the playback interval.

Favorites function lets you choose the best images

Use this function to select your favorite shots, then view a slide show of just those images. Or, select your favorites and delete all the rest.


Resize function


Trimming function


DPOF function

Resize function: Reduce an image for e-mail use

This function makes it easy to "shrink" an image, or reduce the number of pixels. This is convenient when you want to post a photo on a Web site or blog, or attach it to an e-mail message.

Aspect Conversion: Change an image's proportions

You can convert an image with a 16:9 aspect ratio to 4:3 or 3:2 for printing.

Enlarge or trim your images

The Trimming function makes it easy to trim off extraneous parts of an image along the edges. You can save the trimmed image separately from the original.

DPOF function: For quick, easy printing

Use the DPOF (digital print order format) function to designate which photos you want to print and how many copies of each you want, and then you can print them easily on a DPOF-compatible printer. You can also have the date printed on the photos.

Direct printing without a PC

Using the USB cable provided, you can connect the L1 to a PictBridge-compatible printer and print the images you want, using controls on the L1. No need to connect to a PC.

Connect to a PC for viewing, organizing, editing or developing your images

A digital camera gives you endless creative possibilities. Upload your images to a PC, then you can organize, edit, retouch, manipulate, develop the RAW data and much more. The L1 comes with a CD-ROM disc containing the following software utilities.

SILKYPIX® Developer Studio 2.0

This software utility lets you develop RAW data files. For example, you can develop RAW data to create an image with the effect you were trying to capture when you took the shot. You get high-level basic image processing abilities that give you control over such things as unnatural edges from saturated color borders, false colors in structures with intricate detail, and chromatic noise in photos taken at high sensitivity settings. This utility provides a unique combination of high resolution and extraordinary color separation performance.
