    Abstract: A digital camera and related methods enable a scrolling slideshow of captured images across a display screen. The display screen can be the digital camera's display screen or an external display screen (e.g., a TV screen or a computer monitor) driven by the digital camera. The number of images scrolled across a display screen can be adjusted for ease and efficiency of viewing based on user preference. The camera provides controls for image scrolling including speed adjustment, forward scrolling, reverse scrolling, scroll pausing, and scroll resuming. The camera permits images to be locked in place on the display screen during the scrolling slideshow, which provides for easy comparison with other images that continue to scroll across the display screen. When an image is locked, scrolling images appear to scroll to a position behind the locked image.
