Tips & Tricks

How to optimize your pictures for display on Digital-Frame

The screen resolution of the Digital-Frame is 800 x 480 pixels. Displaying images larger than this
will not increase detail or resolution when displayed on the Digi/i.
Shooting pictures at 800 x 480 or adjusting the resolution in image manipulation software
down to this size will increase the number of pictures that can be stored on a Memory Storage Card.
It will also speed decompression of the pictures, improving slideshow performance.
Your Digi/i will automatically reduce the size of large image files to fi t on the screen.

Occasionally, memory cards included with digital cameras are fac tory formatted in some

non-standard way.
A badly formatted card can cause a variety of problems in a Digi/i.
If an individual card is having problems in the Digi/i, try reformatting the card from tool function.
Formatting erases the contents of the card, so be sure to save any images to another storage media or
device before reformatting!
