How many pictures will my BT eFrame 1000 hold?

This varies, depending on the file size of each picture and the capacity of the memory card you are using.

Your BT eFrame has an internal memory of 128MB.

To calculate how many pictures your memory card can hold, divide the capacity of your card by the average file size of your images. The number of images will increase if you shoot in a lower resolution mode, and decrease if you shoot in a higher resolution mode.
