Creating slide shows with music

A slide show is a way to view a group of photos one-by-one at full screen. You can define a slide show group by folder, by date taken, or by tag. While a slide show is playing, you can move your mouse to make the transport controls appear. The transport controls enable you to play, pause, move to the previous or next slide, or end the slide show.

1. On the start screen, scroll to Tasks, click settings, and then click Pictures

2. You can customize your slide show using the options on this screen.
