Delete Pictures:
The Delete Pictures screen allows you to delete images from
your memory cards. Navigate this menu just like the Quick-
view menu. Highlight the thumbnail of the image to be
deleted and click the Menu Wheel.
You will be asked to confirm deletion.
Click again to delete the image.
Press (;) to return to the thumbnails, without deleting the
image.
Quick-Format Card:
This function quickly erases all files and folders from your
storage card. There is no way to undo this action, so you
should be careful not to erase important pictures without
first backing them up onto your computer.
This function will also repair minor data corruption, e.g. the
type of corruption that occurs if you switch off the Digi-
Frame while transferring pictures. For major data corruption (card not rec-
ognized by camera or Digi-Frame, etc), use your camera or computer to
perform a full format on the card.
If you have both CompactFlash and SmartMedia cards inserted when you
select this function, you will be asked to choose which card you want to
quick-format.
System Information:
The System Information screen displays the version number
of the firmware currently in your Digi-Frame™ and informa-
tion on any memory cards currently inserted.
To Exit the menu system at any time press the (;) button.
WARNING!
The delete pictures menu permanently
removes images from the memory card.
How to optimize your pictures for display on Digi-Frame™:
The screen resolution of the Digi-Frame™ is 640 x 480 pixels. Displaying
images larger than this will not increase detail or resolution when displayed
on the Digi-Frame™.
Shooting pictures at 640 x 480 or adjusting the resolution in image manip-
ulation software down to this size will increase the number of pictures that
can be stored on a Memory Storage Card. It will also speed decompression
of the pictures, improving slideshow performance.
Your Digi-Frame™ will automatically reduce the size of large image files to
fit on the screen. Images smaller than 640 x 480 pixels will not be
enlarged. For a pleasing "random border" effect, try using your image edit-
ing software to reduce your images to varying sizes smaller than 640 x
480. If you want an image to fill the screen completely, ensure that it has
an aspect ratio (ratio of width to height) of 4:3 (or 3:4 for vertical pictures).
Caring for the screen:
The screen on the Digi-Frame™ is made of glass and is extremely delicate.
It can easily scratch. Treat the screen with care and avoid touching it. If the
screen becomes dirty, use a soft, absorbent cloth, and a quality glass clean-
ing solution, or recommended LCD cleaning solution to clean it.
The backlight of the display panel in your Digi-Frame™ has a minimum life
expectancy of at least 10,000 hours. This is equivalent to about 14 months
of continuous 24-hour usage. To prolong the life of your Digi-Frame's dis-
play we suggest turning it off when not in use. If used five hours or less per
day it will last at least five years
