To skip through your images faster, use the Main Dial, which will leap forward or backward for whatever prerequisite you set in the step above. You can use both the QCD and Multi-controller to navigate through the pictures in index view. Clicking the Magnify button from single picture view will zoom in on the image, not change the view (discussed in Step 6 below). To get back to the four-image index display, hit the Magnify button once, and then again to get back to single picture view. Pressing it again will show you nine thumbnails. Pressing it once will show four thumbnails images at a time. If you want to see more than one image at a time on the monitor, just press the Reduce button.
You can set 1 image, 10 images, 100 images, Screen, Date, Folder, Movies, or Stills. Select your choice and press Set again to save it. Use the QCD to scroll to "Image Jump w/ Main Dial" and press the Set button. The factory setting is 10, but you can change it to any of the options below by pressing the Menu button and using the Multi-controller (the joystick looking knob) to choose the third tab (Playback 2).
Instead of scrolling through one image at a time, you can skip by 10s or 100s using the Main Dial by the Shutter button. Use the QCD (Quick Control Dial) to scroll through all of your images, spinning it counterclockwise to go from newest to oldest, and clockwise for oldest to newest.
If you most recently used index mode (discussed in Step 5 below) to view your images, it will initially show that instead of a single picture. If you have an empty CF card, then it will just say "No Image". Once pressed, the monitor will display the last image taken and recorded onto your memory card, or the last image you previously viewed. It's by the lower left of the LCD monitor and looks much like any other play button, an isosceles triangle tipped on its side with the apex facing right, which looks something like this: Step 2 Display View To see the last photograph you took, make sure your camera is turned on and simply press the Playback button located right above the Erase button with the trashcan icon. But what do you do after you've snapped those photos? This quick guide will show you the easy steps to viewing your images directly on the camera. Once you get past the initial quick start setup of the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, capturing pictures in auto mode is a breeze.
