Use the Photo PDF feature to access all the photos on the chart so you can go through them more easily the section of the dam you are looking at. Select the Pages Button – Storage – Memory Card – Photos – Select the section (ie. North, South, River). 

As the photo numbers on the pdf match up to the photo numbers on the chart (and vice versa), you can use the “Go to Function” while in the memory card.  Type in a photograph number when looking at the pdf document and then scroll backwards and forwards to see the other photographs in the same area of the dam that you’re interested in.

NB:  The photos in the pdf file are low resolution. To see the high resolution image, go back to the chart and locate the same photo number on there.
