    This is a UI inconsistency (and as a UI-fundamentalist I have to mark this as a bug ;-)):

    While watching pictures, either in a slideshow or by pressing the OK button in the listview, normally the skip and rewind buttons bring you to the next or previous picture.

    However, as soon as you zoom into a picture by pressing the ch.up/down buttons, skip and rewind change behavior: panning left/right. Acutally removing the only means to navigatie to the next or previous picture. Only when you zoom-out entirely, then the buttons regain their navigational functionality. This may look as not a problem but usually, one zoom-step is never enough to have effect. So the user usually zooms in several steps. I guess at least 5 or 10 times.
    So, before you can skip to the next image, you may have at least pressed 10-20 times the channel change buttons on average.

    This function change is not necessary because the cursor keys already do the panning. So, don't change the skip/rewind buttons during zooming.
