Viewing Photos

The P-1000 can display JPEG images of up to 6 megapixels, with an
aspect ratio of 6:1.

Note:

Progressive JPEG format files, non-JPEG images, some black and white
or CMYK images, video files, or sound files cannot be displayed or played
on the P-1000. However, it is possible to copy these files to the P-1000’s
HDD (for temporary storage).

RAW images from some digital cameras may be supported by the
P-1000. Depending on the RAW image, you may be able to copy it to
the P-1000 (and from there to a memory card or computer), display it on
the screen, and delete it—but you cannot perform certain operations. For
example, you cannot print or rotate RAW images, include them in a slide
show, or use one as an album thumbnail.

When you view images with an odd number of pixels, such as
1601 × 1201, one line of pixels on the bottom and right sides is not
displayed.

Follow these steps to view photos in thumbnail or full-screen size:
