This page explains how to change the views of your photos.

You can view the photos in each album in the following ways:

  • Thumbnails View - Screen displays photos in a grid. Can zoom to display from (6 across x 4 down) to (2 across x 1 down).
  • List View - Screen displays photos vertically with photo information. Can zoom to display from two down to six down on a screen.
  • Full Screen View - Screen displays one photo at a time, filling the screen. From this view you can open the photo in "actual size", which most likely will not fit on the screen.

By default, your albums open in Thumbnail view. To switch among views, press How to change the views of your photos - Sidekick D then select the view you want.


Note: If you are viewing a memory card album and think you have more/less images actually on the card than you're seeing on your device, try "refreshing" the view of the card: Press MENU How to change the views of your photos - Sidekick and select View > Refresh [How to change the views of your photos - Sidekick H]. The card contents will reload to your device. This situation could occur if you are using a downloaded application to create image files that are stored on the memory card.

Thumbnails View
