donalrey Posted April 22, 2011 Share #1 Â Posted April 22, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Some or most of you might know this already but I guess for those that doesn't you can preview pictures without taking the lens cap off. I've had my X1 since June and only know did I figure out how to do this. Â Anyways, you simply hold down the "play" button when turning on the camera and viola! Â Hope this helps out those that didn't know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinglj Posted April 25, 2011 Share #19 Â Posted April 25, 2011 Well mine must be broken-again . Given the time it took to repair last time I reckon I'll stick with taking the lens cap off . Â shinglj The Rolling Road Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
