Abstract
A user interface and related method of use provides enhanced functionality for input controls on a digital camera. Activating the input controls enables a user to individually display a given digital image of a plurality of stored digital images and then jump non-sequentially to another digital image. The user interface also or alternatively enables a user to use the input controls to zoom in and out of the given digital image.
