does this frame support random display of photos? or does it always display them in the order they are stored on the memory card?

But can the pictures be displayed in the order that they are stored on the SD card.

The manual does not give a definite answer to the question of 'How big can Memory Cards be in Capacity?' It says "The simple answer is that our frames will accept most High-Capacity Memory cards like, for example 16 GB SDHC Card. However, bear in mind that if there are thousands of files on your card and they are in different folders or formats ... this will probably slow the frame's processor... should be able to view up to 10,000 photos per memory device... Hope that helps.

I ran into the same problem when I first used it. I found out that I was scanning the pictures upside down, thankfully I caught it after 5 pictures when I checked. Also, make sure your card is formatted.

I'm wondering, does this frame allow you to select the order of your pics or is it only in random order?Also, can I play music while pics are showing in slideshow mode or is it just one or the other?

No, the pictures come from being uploaded by a memory card or memory stick. The frame is not connected to your computer. It is electric in that it is plugged in so that the picture frame lights up with the photos and rotates them continually. The memory card remains in the frame. Hope this helps.

Yes, this frame has a slide show feature. I set this up for my mother using an SD card. You can set up the slide show speed, shuffle photos, etc. You don't need to be connected to the internet to have your slide show if you are getting pictures from the card internally. If you wanted to connect to an online picture account (like Picasa), I presume you would need your frame connected to the wifi, but as I didn't set that up on the frame, I can't speak to how easy or difficult it was.

Not sure what is going on. Is the frame displaying pictures? If not then you may want to reboot, or go on internet via computer to see if you have pictures.

The frame has a setting that recognizes how the picture is set up, be it vertical or horizontal, and then displays it accordingly. But you do have to select that option in the menu.

I don't know exactly but it IS limited. I put 650-700 photos on the card the first time and it would only read just. It showed those particular photos over and over again (not anywhere close to all the photos on the card). I went back and put only a dozen or two on the card and it read them OK. I haven't had time to find out exactly how many it will read on the card yet. Sorry.

Hi Amy, the memory is not on board, you must load pictures on a USB Drive or SDcard, then insert the USB/SDcard into the frame and keep it inserted. Colleen

You can turn the slideshow off, so it only displays a single file. I might shop around a bit more to find a frame with a little better viewing angle. This is good for photos at a glance, but video won't look great because the viewing angle isn't the best.

Yes. You must use a SD card (not included) to put pictures on the frame. You'll load pictures on the SD card and then put the SD card in a slot on the back.

Did you get yours yet? I just ordered mine after much research. I don't plan to use the software that comes with it. Instead, I'm going to transfer pics to an SD card. If I'm happy with the frame, I'd like to get one for my parents for Christmas.

Conflicting answers! Several say it can be set to random - has anyone actually TRIED it? Or are they just saying the setting is there? I've had one that has a "random" setting and it doesn't shuffle the photos - they play in exactly the same order I loaded them on the flash drive. Can anyone explain the conflicting answers, or provide a link to a frame they KNOW will shuffle the order? Thank you.

Never tried to shuffle, but, It shows pictures as a slide show in the order on the card. If you wish to change the order you could load on your computer rearrange and put on a flash drive to do so. I use both the memory cards and flash drives for the slide show. Good luck!

Bob: I see your point, but wonder if the risk of card failure is any worse on the higher capacity card. So long as I download my photos and videos regularly, the only content at risk is the most recent shots which haven't been copied yet. Even a 4GB card can fail, and if it's got irreplaceable pics on it I'm likely to utter some things not intended for mixed company. I've read that the SD cards are only good for so many cycles of save/erase/save..., so presumably the larger capacity card gets erased less frequently, thereby reducing the risk of failure.
