Claim:
A method of selecting a starting image at which to start displaying an image stream, the method comprising the iterative steps of: (1) displaying a plurality of candidate images from within a part of the image stream for selection by a user of the closest candidate image; and (2) displaying a plurality of candidate images from within a time range of the image stream close to the candidate image selected by the user in response to step (1) for selection by a user of the closest candidate image; wherein the candidate images are displayed in chronological order spread apart by a time interval, the time interval being reduced for each successive iteration; the method further comprising displaying the starting image in response to the selection of a candidate image in the last of the iterative steps; the method further comprising a scrolling mode in which, if the starting image lies in the image stream at an earlier time than the first candidate image that is displayed, or at a later time than the last candidate image that is displayed, the candidate images that are displayed in any of the iterations are replaced by candidate images in an adjacent part of the image stream to effect scrolling.
