10 Frequently
asked questions
Is the LCD screen touch-enabled?
The LCD screen is not touch-enabled. Use the buttons on the back to control the PhotoFrame.
Can I switch different slideshow photos by using different memory cards?
Yes. When a memory card is connected to the PhotoFrame, you can play photos on the
specic memory card in slideshow mode.
Will the LCD be damaged, if I keep showing the same photo for a long time?
No. The PhotoFrame can display the same photo continuously for 72 hours without any damage to the LCD screen.
Why does my PhotoFrame not show some of my photos?
The PhotoFrame supports only JPEG and BMP photos. Make sure that these photos are not damaged.
Why does my PhotoFrame not show some of
my video les?
The PhotoFrame plays most video clips of a digital still camera in M-JPEG (*.avi/*. mov), MPEG-1 (*.mpg/*.dat/*.avi/*.mov), and MPEG-4 (*.avi/*.mov/*.mp4) format. Some video clips might have compatibility issues when played on your PhotoFrame. Before playing, make sure that these video clips are compatible with your PhotoFrame. (For details, see "Your PhotoFrame" > "Playable media" in the User Manual)
Make sure that the size of the video les
are applicable to your PhotoFrame.
Make sure that the video les are not
damaged.
Can I use the PhotoFrame during its display auto-off periods?
Yes. You can press and hold to wake up the PhotoFrame.
Why does the PhotoFrame not go into auto­off status after I set it?
Ensure that you set the current time, auto­off time, and auto-on time correctly. The PhotoFrame automatically turns off its display exactly at the auto-off time. If the time has already passed for the day, it starts to enter
auto-off status at the specied time from the
next day.
Can I increase the memory size to store more pictures on the PhotoFrame?
No. The internal memory of the PhotoFrame is
xed and cannot be expanded. However, you
could switch between different photos by using different storage devices on the PhotoFrame.
After I insert a memory card and transfer all
content to the PhotoFrame, I nd that the
folder structure saved on the PhotoFrame is different from the original structure on the memory card. Why?
The PhotoFrame can only read a folder structure up to 3 levels and write on only 1-level folder structure. In that case, photos on a memory card, which are in folders with the same name but in different levels, will be saved in the same folder on the PhotoFrame. For example, photos in folders "\AA", " \01\ AA" and "\02\AA" on a memory card will all be copied into the folder named "\AA" on the PhotoFrame.
What is the best resolution of photos to be displayed on the PhotoFrame?
The best resolution is 800 x 600 pixels, or a similar aspect ratio.
Why does the PhotoFrame automatically turn off?
If you enable the SmartPower function, the PhotoFrame automatically turns off at the preset time. For details, see section "Set display auto on/off".

A very common digital still picture format. A still-picture data compression system proposed by the Joint Photographic Expert Group, which features small decrease in image quality in spite of its high compression ratio. Files are
recognized by their le extension ‘.jpg' or '.jpeg.’
K
Kbps
Kilobits per second. A digital-data-rate measurement system which is often used with highly compressed formats such as AAC, DAB, MP3 etc. The higher the amount, the better the quality generally is.
Kensington lock
A Kensington Security Slot (also called a K-Slot or Kensington lock). Part of an anti-theft system. It is a small, metal-reinforced hole found on almost all small or portable computer and electronics equipment, particularly on expensive and/or relatively light ones, such as laptops, computer monitors, desktop computers, gaming consoles, and video projectors. It is used for attaching a lock-and-cable apparatus, in particular those from Kensington.
M

storage on cameras, camcorders and other handheld devices.
MMC Card
MultiMedia Card. A ash memory card that
provides storage for cellphones, PDAs and

S
SD Card
Secure Digital Memory Card. A ash memory
card that provides storage for digital cameras, cellphones and PDAs. SD Cards use the same 32 x 24mm form factor as the MultiMediaCard (MMC), but are slightly thicker (2.1mm vs.
1.4mm), and SD Card readers accept both formats. Cards up to 4GB are available.
T
Thumbnail
