Four pictures are now shown on the screen after taking a picture instead of one: I have a Canon EOS Rebel T5 and would appreciate help to solve this minor issue, not serious just...

I have a Canon EOS Rebel T5 and would appreciate help to solve this minor issue, not serious just annoying. Couldn't find solution in the manual.

Thanks

While I don't have your model, on my Canon, you can control this by clicking Playback, then magnify, then rotating the main dial.

You've hit the "reduce" button while viewing the images. You need to hit the magnify button while viewing the images.

That sometimes happens with my Nikon, and it's frustrating. Now I know which buttons to press to get the display back to normal.

I wonder if future humans - electronic-human hybrids - will have such a button to lose weight or increase muscle size.

How did you display the call-outs and the red arrows on a photo of the camera ?? I would like to be able to do this but don't have a clue - because I am older than dirt and I am not all that literate with computer stuff.

Just get a program like FastStone Capture. I paid $19.00 for it a couple of years ago. Great program for screen capture and video capture, too.

Thanks for the info. I will definitely look into this.

Yes, all these "quick" buttons on all our cameras are certainly handy most of the time, but occasionally . . . .

I just use Paint which is part of Windows. You've probably got something fancier if you're on a Mac.

I manually draw the arrows using the line draw tool. This video shows how to make arrows from the pre-made arrows.

You can do the arrows and text with almost any simple photo editor program. Faststone Image Viewer will do the trick and it is free.

S_P, thanks for the tip. I am using a Dell 27-inch XPS all-in-one machine running Billy G's crappy Windows 10. I used to have a 27-inch iMac and if I were not so dam old, I would go back to the iMac.
When I was writing my "How-I-made-a-Violin" manual, I used MS Word and was able to paste JPG photos onto a blank page and use all those fancy call-outs and arrows for my Figures. But outside of Word or Excel or PowerPoint I wouldn't know what to do. So thanks for the tips. ~FiddleMaker

You mean you DON'T?
