    I stupidly lent my camera to a friend and he must have messed around with my settings. I'm now having issues with the photo playback. When I used to press the playback button (20) the photos just taken had numbers displayed that showed the total number of photos taken and the number of the order in which each photo was taken (1/45 or 9/12, etc.) Also, if I had taken a photo by holding the camera vertically instead of horizontally, the playback showed the vertical photo horizontally as per usual with the numerical information in the usual position.. Now photos taken holding the camera vertically are displayed "on their side." I will be grateful for any help that will tell me how to reset the camera to my original preferences. I consulted the camera's manual, but couldn't find any information that specifically discusses these issues and I'm not going to just fool around with settings like my friend obviously did. (And that's the last time I'll lend the camera to anybody!)

    Page 210 of the user manual tells you how to reset the camera to its default settings, which is presumably what they were before this unfortunate incident, seeing as how you are 'reluctant to fool around' with settings. Clear both Basic and Other settings and you should be back to normal. Hope this helps.
