Pressing the Index button opens
a thumbnail index screen. This
screen shows three columns of
three images per screen. It is a fast
and easy way to navigate through
your images. You can use the
multi-selector to navigate through
the images and the multi-selector’s
center button to select the high-
lighted image. The Front control
dial navigates among images, and
the Rear control dial navigates
by screen. You can also change
which folder on the memory card
is being viewed. When the folder
icon on the left side of the screen
is selected and the multi-selector’s
center button is pressed, you
can change the folder using the
multi-selector.

Press the Delete button to
delete the image that is on the
screen. After the Delete button
has been pressed, a confirmation
screen asks if the image should be
deleted or if you want to cancel
this action. After an image has
been deleted, there is no way to
get the image back. Taking this
action is something to seriously
consider before executing.
Although the 3-inch LCD is
great for doing quick reviews,
it isn’t ideal for doing critical
reviews. The A700 LCD just can’t
compare to a computer or televi-
sion screen. I do use the review
to quickly check my photos, mak-
ing sure that the image is prop-
erly exposed.
When viewing your images on
the camera, battery life is seri-
ously impacted. Using the LCD
to view images depletes the
battery extremely fast.
