Image compare

The image compare mode from the K20D and K200D is retained on the K2000 but now lives in the main menu, rather than the playback mode. It allows you to select two images, move around them and zoom in on specific sections to compare focus, for instance.

Initially the dial is used to select the right-hand image. The four way controller moves around the image.	Pressing OK switches to zoom mode, in which the dial zooms in both images.


Pressing OK again allows you to select and navigate around the right-hand image.	Pressing the info button removes the tools and tips around the screen.
