Getting Started

Mounting

Wall-Mounting

If you wish to mount the digital photo frame onto the wall, use the wall
mounting holes (9) on the back panel of the device to orientate the photo
frame either horizontally or vertically. Use one screw for vertical or two
screws for horizontal mounting with a head diameter of max. 5 mm in order
to support the photo frame weight safely. Please bear in mind that a suitable
wall outlet should be located near the wall mount location.

Pedestal Mounting

In order to place the digital photo frame onto a table you will need to attach

the supplied pedestal (D) onto the back
panel of the device. Insert the pedestal
into the hole (8) and turn it 90 degrees
clockwise until it clicks into place. The
asymmetrical shape of the pedestal
makes it impossible to mount it in inverted
direction. Once the pedestal is attached
you can choose whether to place it
horizontally or vertically on the table.

Please note that the digital photo frame does not detect w hether the
pictures have been recorded in portrait (vertical) or landscape
(horizontal) format. It might be necessary to optimise the picture by

i

using a suitable image-editing programme on a computer.

the photo frame and the flat-shaped plug (12) of the cable (C) into the

Notes for Picture Editing

Rotate
If you have taken a picture in portrait format (vertical) with your digital

camera but the photo frame has been installed horizontally, you must rotate
the picture to match the display. Most of the digital cameras already offer
this function. Please read the User’s Manual of your digital camera to find
out if this feature is available. Otherwise use a suitable image-editing
programme on your computer to rotate the pictures.

Enables the screen saver after 15, 30 or 60 minutes
or disables the screen saver (Off). With the screen
saver enabled the screen’s backlight will be turned
off after the preset time. This applies both to the
picture playback as well as to the clock and
calendar display. Press any button to display the
contents again.

values.
Shows information about the software of the device.

17

English Digital Photo Frame DPF-710A

The advantage of editing the picture is a per sistent change of the format. If
you rotate the pictures on your photo frame (see table on page 13 – Picture
Menu) the rotation will only apply to the current vie w, and the picture must
be rotated again the next time you want to show it.

If you have installed the photo frame vertically you must rotate any pictures
captured in landscape format.

Aspect ratio
The aspect ratio of pictures taken on a digital camera (4: 3) does not match

the aspect ratio of your digital photo frame (16:9). When displa ying pictures
without any size adjustment (see page 16 – Preferences, Aspect Ratio)
black bars will appear in the left and right picture margins. If you want to
optimise the picture display on your photo frame it is n ecessary to crop the
picture by using a suitable image-editing programme on your computer.
Normally, this kind of programme is included in the package of most digital
cameras.

To crop the pictures many programmes offer a function “Selection Frame”
or “Crop”. Determine the crop frame for a 16:9 aspect ratio (matching the
photo frame) and select the desired picture portion.

You can freely choose the position and size of the cr op frame and exclude
any undesired or disturbing picture contents.

Once you are done performing all changes, save your picture on the
memory card.
