Frequently asked questions

⑦ What memory card formats are compatible with the PhotoFrame?

SD/SDHC, MMC, are compatible with the PhotoFrame.

⑦ Why do some photos load faster than others?

Higher resolution photos load slower. Using a lower resolution when taking photos will speed up loading time. Smart Copy™ can be used to resize selected images to decrease loading time.

⑦ Why are my photos appearing upside down?

The PhotoFrame is placed upside down. Please rotate the frame.

⑦ What types of image files can I view on my PhotoFrame?

The PhotoFrame supports playback of JPEG, BMP images.

⑦ The frame slows down significantly on certain photos. What can I do?

This is mainly due to extra processing time needed to decode very large size high resolution files. The DPF's Smart Copy (Resize by default) feature will automatically resize the file based on the unit's screen resolution and will significantly reduce the size of the photo and eliminate this issue. However, please always keep a copy of the original photos on the computer.

The frame froze and will not respond, what can I do?

If the frame freezes, it is easy to restart by unplugging from power, then press power button again.
