Can I use the PhotoFrame to delete photos on a memory card?

Why does my PhotoFrame not show some of my photos?

Why does my PhotoFrame not show some of my video files?

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, ensure that these video clips are compatible with your PhotoFrame.

Can I increase the memory size to store more pictures on the PhotoFrame?

No. The internal memory of the PhotoFrame is fixed and cannot be expanded. However, you could switch between different photos by using different storage devices on the PhotoFrame.

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.
