Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why do my photos take so long to load?
A: Generally the higher the resolution of the photo, the longer it takes to load.
Resizing your photos to a lower resolution quickens the processing time.
Q: How do I copy music files to the frame?
A: The Digital Picture Frame only plays MP3 files, so audio files in other formats like WMA, ACC (iTunes) etc. must be converted first. Use a personal computer and popular audio editing software to convert your music to MP3 format. See “Copying Pictures, Music & Video Files from Computer” section to see how to copy music files to the frame.
Q: Why doesn’t Digital Picture Frame 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 copying them to the built-in memory on the Digital Frame or a memory card.
Q: Why can’t I play a video file on the frame?
A: Please make sure the video file is in one of the supported video file formats and has resolution of no more than 480p (60Hz-NTSC) / 570p (50Hz-PAL).
Troubleshooting Tips
Digital Picture Frame does not power on
The POWER connector to the unit is not securely inserted.
When you connect the AC adapter to the frame and power up the unit, even without a memory card, you should see the Main Menu.
If you don’t see the lit screen, check if the power is connected to the Digital Picture Frame and make sure it is securely attached.
Memory card is not recognized by the frame
Make sure the card is inserted properly – Make sure the front label of the memory card is facing AWAY from you. Also make sure that the card is one of the supported card type and of the supported capacity
IMPORTANT: Do not force the memory card into the slot.
