The top LCD display is the first that I have seen that is illuminated and can easily be seen in the dark - thank you, it's about time someone did this. As you can see from this photo the display is illuminated with a very techy looking blue flourescent color. Oh yes, when the camera is turned off the LCD displays the current time. Toshiba claims the battery will take 100 photos with the LCD on and 200 photos with the LCD off. And there's also a Video port for showing your pictures on the TV set.
Video is output in both record and playback modes.
While playing back a picture you can use the 4-way switch to zoom in and move around the magnified image. The PDR-M4 has a unique onscreen indicator to let you know where you are in the overall image. Here's the image delete screen. As with all of the PDR-M4's onscreen menus it is very easy to figure out what to do without reading the manual. And it currently holds the record as the fastest downloading camera due to its speedy USB data port.
