Apologies if the following is common knowledge. After taking two or more shots of the same scene (perhaps with slightly different parameters), and then using the rear control wheel and four-way control pad to view a magnified part of the image, turning the front control wheel goes to exactly the same magnified view of the next (or previous) image.
Cheers.

Here's something that's been niggling for some time - it is all very well having a WR camera body and lenses but this is breached whenever you change lenses. How about a protective shutter between the body mount and mirror which opens when a lens is engaged and closes when released? Many small cameras have such a cover to protect the lens whenever it is switched off so it can't be difficult or expensive. It could be manually opened for cleaning.

Now here is the short cut.
2) Simply press the OK button. The histogram will disappear but, the image will stay full-size. Then...
3) ...if you want to bring the histogram back up, simply press the INFO button again.
Just using those two buttons alternately allows you to switch back and forth between histogram and no histogram without having to scroll through all the screen display types.
Ah - excellent - just tried that - really useful. Thanks![/quote]You are most welcome.
