Using Quick Control during playback

“

You've seen how you can use the quick control button, this little button with a Q on it, while you're shooting to get a single interface to a lot of different shooting controls. It'll do the same thing in playback mode. If I'm reviewing images, I can hit the Q button, and get this single interface to a lot of things that I might want to do to an individual image. So, for example, right off the bat, I can protect to the image. Now, the way this interface works is the wheel here lets me control my confirmation or not, while the multi-controller lets me move up and down my selection over here. So I've got rotate, I've got ratings; I've got the ability to process a RAW file into a JPEG. If this was a JPEG, the next item would be lit up, which is resizing. I can enable highlight alert, I can enable autofocus point display, or I can jump forward -- or I can control my jump interval down here. So this is just a really nice way to quickly get into a bunch of different functions. I don't have delete on here, because I get delete simply from the delete button down here, so there's no need for a shortcut. So as you're reviewing, you might find the quick control an easier way to get to some of the features that you're using more often, quicker than digging into the menu system.
