How to enable Light Box Playback in the menus

[E-PL1Shooter]

E-PL1 owners can you please let me know how can I enable the light box playback in the menus, because mine is grayed out. Thanks in advance.

HI Brian thanks for your quick reply, the "Light Box" menus is greyed out, I can't enable it, here is I copied it from DC Resource website:
Info setting

* Playback setting
o Image only (on/off)
o Overall (on/off)
o Histogram (on/off)
o Highlight & shadow (on/off)
o Lightbox (on/off)

Oh yes, I see what you mean... light box view is described on page 61 of the E-PL1 manual, but it doesn't look like it's currently available.

Looks like an item for a future firmware fix.

Thanks for check it out for me Brian, I thought mine has a problems, also 1 guy from dpreview said that his camera has a feature that ask if we want to update the firmware or not, but I can't find on mine too. You posted a very sharp photos Brian with the PL 14-150, what an expensive lens.

Hi, I've worked it out... first of all you need to select :

Cog Menu D->(play) CLOSE UP MODE->mode 2

and then LIGHT BOX menu option will be available, set :

Cog menu D->Fn/INFO SETTING->Play INFO->LIGHT BOX->ON

A bit convoluted! but we got there in the end :smile:

What is Light Box. I don't see it in the index of the manual.

 

[Brian Mosley]

Light Box is described on Page 61 of the E-PL1 manual.

Damn, you're good Brian.

You're genius Brian, thanks for help me out.

Actually this solves another problem too.
The procedure described on p. 60 for close-up playback doesn't work unless mode2 is enabled. I was desperately looking for a way to compare two images zoomed in. The modes are described on p. 74. Although ... described is the wrong word here. I would dearly love to stuff this so called manual down various people's throats at Olympus.

Damn, you're good Brian.

Ain't it the truth?
