When one previews the picture in the on-camera screen, you will notice that the camera apparently loads a small image first. Then, if you keep that image in the monitor for a few seconds, it is substituted with a larger one. You can see the effect when you call up a preview of a shot with a detailed pattern such as ripples on water - after several seconds you will see a noticeable shift in the pattern when the second (presmably larger image suitable for zooming into) is loaded and substituted.
