Click-drag the selection tool (see red box below) to move in a more controlled fashion through the data. Choose the selection tool (default tool) and then click anywhere near the edge of the image. Keep the mouse pressed and drag the cursor (arrow) to the left or right. The display will continue moving at a steady pace for as long as the click-drag is held.
