Setting the Clock, Date & Time

Press the “Exit” key and go to “Clock” scroll to and select “Date and Time”. Select

up/down/right/left.

Playing the Pre-Installed Pictures

Your Rollei DF-8 Feelings digital picture frame comes ready-to-use thanks to the three pre-installed photographs; you don’t need to have your own digital pictures to start using this product. (For the initial use, it will play the pre-installed pictures.)

To play these pre-installed pictures, simply turn on the picture frame and make sure there is no memory card inserted in to the unit. If a memory card or USB flash drive is inserted, then the unit will automatically start playing content on the card or USB flash drive.

There is also a pre-installed sound track included with your pre-installed photos.

The sound track will automatically play during the slide presentation unless you program the device to turn-off sound. You can turn off the sound by going to the program Menu, select “Photo Menu”, scroll down to “Slideshow with music” and select “no” to turn off the sound.

Playing Your Own Pictures

You will need to insert a memory card or USB flash drive containing your pictures in to the digital picture frame. This unit accepts the most common memory cards in the narrow card-slot, as well as USB flash drives in the USB port. This unit also has internal memory so you can copy your photos, music and video clips and

store them on your digital picture frame. Most cameras allow you to connect them directly to a digital picture frame using a USB cable; check with your camera’s manufacturer if that’s possible.

NEW FEATURE: Using the Collage Function

Your Rollei DF-8 Feelings digital picture frame has a new feature that allows you to show multiple photographs at the same time. Depending on the background template you choose, you can have up to three different photos on the screen at one time, rotating in a slideshow format. To use this feature, go to Photos in the

Main Menu and select Collage in the Sub-Menu. Then, select the background option you prefer: Mother’s Day, Baseball, Golf, Fishing. Press “OK” to start the

Collage function. Below, see the “Golf” background and the two photos that rotate in slideshow function.

Deleting Pictures on Your Memory Card

You don’t need a PC to edit or delete pictures on the memory card or USB flash drive in your picture frame. With the memory card or USB flash drive inserted, press the “Menu” key and scroll to and select “Delete”. You will have a choice of deleting the current picture showing or delete all photos. A word of caution:

Once you’ve deleted the content on your card, you can not restore it. Hitachi recommends that you always have a back-up copy of your pictures.

Adjusting the Brightness and Contrast of Pictures

The Rollei DF-8 Feelings picture frame automatically presents your photos the way they were taken. However, depending on the room’s lighting, you may want to manually adjust the brightness and contrast for optimal viewing. Do this by pressing the “Exit” key and under “Setup” scroll to and select “Brightness” to adjust brightness. Scroll to and select “Contrast” to adjust contrast.

Changing the Size of the Picture Shown on the Screen

You can program your digital picture frame to automatically adjust the size of the pictures shown on your screen to show the entire photo or to fit the entire screen.

Showing the entire photo may mean that some of your screen is left blank because the dimension of the photo is not the same as the screen dimension; there may be some un-used parts of the screen during this type of viewing. If you prefer to have your photo completely fill the screen, your photo may be cropped, so some parts of it won’t be shown (such as the top/bottom or the sides). To make this adjustment, press the “Menu” button and scroll to and select “Ratio”.

“Actual Size” means you will see 100% of the photo, even if that means that parts of the screen are left un-used. “Fit Image” means that the photo will be shown using 100% of the screen, even if that means parts of the photo will be cropped.

Checking Your Available Memory Card Capacity

Most memory cards and USB flash drives indicate the size of memory on the outside of the card. Your Rollei DF-8 Feelings digital picture frame will tell you how much remaining space is available to add more pictures to your memory card or USB flash drive. To find this out, press the “Exit” key and under “Setup” scroll to and select “System”. You memory card capacity information will be shown.

Using the Auto-Rotation Function for Landscape or Portrait Mode

You can use your Rollei DF-8 Feelings picture frame in either landscape mode

(where the frame is wider than tall) or in portrait mode (where the frame is taller than wide). The Hitachi picture frame automatically changes how the pictures are presented; just turn it upright (portrait mode) or sideway (landscape mode).

Please be sure to adjust the position of the changeable back-stand, depending on the way you use your picture frame.
