The internal picture frame memory is loaded using files found at the root level of the memory card. If you create a file folder on the SD card and save your pictures to the folder it will not find anything to copy to the internal memory and run directly from the card.

I have a 7FFICWO model. In addition to this information, I discovered that the only way that the picture frame would function properly from my 1G SD memeory card was to turn the frame on without the SD card plugged in; then plug the SD card in after it was on; then cycle to the 'slideshow' mode. Any other sequence resulted in the frame started out OK for several pictures and then freezing up.

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, it is very easy to use a SD card. I have about 3000 slides and I will have all of them on the SD card.and I download into different albums on my computer.

The photo frame does not have any user-accessible memory so you will need some kind of memory card in order to view any photos on it. According to the Amazon description, this frame accepts SD/MMC/SDHC cards. The amount of photos you can have on it at any time will be limited by the size of the card you use.

It's really easy to download pictures to an SD card, then just pop the SD card into display. I don't remember having to do anything else. All my pictures came up fine. I don't believe there is internal memory if that's what the question is actually asking.

The thing is, they're not even showing up as being on the card, but they show up when I go through the files on my camera. And I made sure they're actually ON the SD card, because it says my internal memory is empty. I was reading other posts and I think I may have recorded them in the wrong format? I don't know how to change that though...

This is simply a carrier. It does not change the settings of your SD card. The card would need to be set to write protect before inserting it into the carrier. There should be a small slide switch toward the pins on the left side of the card. Moving this switch down or to the lock position, causes the card to be write protected. Moving the switch up, allows the card to be written to.

The mb size of pictures are different that is what to look for, MB size. Yes I keep card in it, but switch to new card with new pictures so card is normally last viewed pictures. Sometimes I put older card in to let people view them. SD cards should be a backup to what you have on PC. You also should have extra USB HD backing those up. Frames are to show people not storage for pictures. Get big viewing frame ( inside area ) so people can see the pictures.

Yes, any pictures are stored on your SD card and then can be displayed. You can also take images from anywhere and copy them to an SD card and then project them also. I am not sure how long the battery life is with a continuous slide show going but works rather nice.

I have not put mine on a memory card or anything yet. I downloaded them from my slides into my pictures folder in my computer. Now I know by doing that all I have to do is put them on anything I want to. I would download them to my computer if I were you. Then you can check them and be sure you got everything and it is right then put them on to a memory card. The reason I say that is I didn't get them all when I put them on the computer and ended up having to find the ones that didn't get downloaded the first time.

I had to give it a couple of tries myself. It's a zip file if I recall correctly. Expand it first on your computer, then copy the files to your SD card, start the frame and then go to the menu of "update" and it should work from there.

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.

I used a flash drive to display pictures. You can download pictures from your laptop to the flash drive. I haven't used the SD card to display pictures yet, not sure how you would download pictures to a SD card.

First off, Maybe Ron's answer needs clarifying. Load the software to your PC this unit is not a camera of any sort! Then plug in the unit to your PC,I believe its a USB. Now if you have some SLIDES open the slide unit and insert into the unit from right to left, one slide at a time. Get more answers from the book or go online. Hope this helps.

I had to use an SD card. I didn't find that to be an issue. The scanner worked great, and I did several thousand slides!

Hmmmm, good question. To be honest, I don't know. I have never tried to do that. It is super simple with the memory stick.... but yes, i know what you mean, even my Mom would likely have trouble doing it herself. I don't have the box or directions anymore, so I can't even look at that. I have three of these, and have had them for years, and I love them...... I have never had a single issue with these frames, unlike others that I have in other locations, that freeze and fail over time. I leave mine on all the time, and they are worry free, running a slide show of pics 24/7 for me. They are great quality for the cost. Hmmmm, good question. To be honest, I don't know.

Josh -- Yes. You have to transfer your digital image files to the SD card through your computer and plug the loaded card into the frame. Then you go into setup and tell it to play the slideshow from the SD card. I like the flexibility it provides. You can clean up the image (red eye reduction, cropping, etc) and only load the pictures you want on to the memory card. Hope it helps.
