Technical Support
Frequently asked questions
1) Q: Why do my photos take so long to load?
A: Generally the higher the resolution of the photo, the longer it will take to
load. Resizing your photos to a lower resolution will quicken the processing
time.
2) Q: What is the best picture resolution displayed on the screen?
A: The frame’s best resolution is 1024 x 768
3) Q: Does the Digital Picture Frame have built-in memory?
A: Yes. The DPF-1500PRO has 1GB of internal memory
4) Q: How do I store music files?
A: First, use a personal computer and popular audio editing software to
convert your music to MP3 format. The Digital Picture Frame will only play
MP3 files so all Windows Media Player™ and/or iTunes™ files will have to be
converted first. You can use a card reader or your digital camera to transfer
those files to your memory card.
5) Q: How come the Digital Picture Frame does not show some of my photos?
A: The Digital Picture Frame is designed to show photos following the same
camera industry standards format as digital cameras. This format is a JPEG
format. Images, such as web images, scanned images, or photos in RAW
format, are not stored according to camera industry standards and therefore
cannot be displayed correctly on the Digital Picture Frame. Please use your
PC applications to convert such images into standard JPEG format before
viewing them on the Digital Picture Frame.
6) Q: If I keep showing the same photo for a long time, will it damage the LCD
screen?
A: No. The Digital Picture Frame can display the same photo continuously for
a long time. But it is recommended not to show the same picture continuously
for more than 1 month.
