15. How to protect or rate images

Assign the [Protect] or [Rating] function to a custom key during playback. This lets you sort recorded images quickly. We recommend assigning the function to the C3 button so that you can move to the next image using your right hand, and select the assigned function using your left hand.

Advance preparation MENU → (Setup) → [Operation Customize] → [Custom Key Setting] → [Custom Button 3] → [Protect] or [Rating].
During playback Move to the next image using your right hand, and select [Protect] or [Rating] with the C3 button using your left hand.

16. How to play back only protected images or rated images

You can jump between images during playback, playing back only protected images or images set with a particular rating. You can select the front dial or the rear dial to perform this function. You can select the front dial, rear dial L, or rear dial R to perform this function. Use operating parts other than the selected dial (such as the control wheel) to play back all images. In this way, you can choose the playback method that suits your purpose.
