This chapter discusses ways to enhance your use of MemoryFrame
Areas covered include: image optimization, care of the LCD screen,
securing MemoryFrame in busy environments, and changing the
decorative frame.
10.1
Optimizing images for display on MemoryFrame
The physical screen resolution of the MemoryFrame is 320 x 240 pixels.
Images larger than this will not increase detail or resolution when
displayed on the MemoryFrame.
Although a PC is not required, many digital camera users will want to
take advantage of their personal computer's power, memory, and user
interface to edit, enhance, and archive their photos and other images.
Using the Digital PixMaster
MemoryFrame, you can organize a personalized photo show and
download it to the MemoryFrame using USB. If you do use a PC to
transfer your photos to MemoryFrame, then you will want to take
pictures at full resolution and store them on your hard-drive. The Digital
PixMaster software will automatically resize photos appropriately when
you drag & drop a photo into the application. This will not affect the
size and resolution of the original photo on your hard-drive, therefore, if
you do desire to print that photo later, you will still have the original full-
resolution photo on your hard-drive.
To have an image fill the MemoryFrame screen completely, ensure that it
has an aspect ratio (the ratio of width to height) of 4:3 (or 3:4 for
portrait-mode vertical photos). The smallest recommended size for
photos is 320 x 240 (4:3) [or 240 x 320 (3:4) for 'portrait' photos].
Sending photos larger than these sizes will not improve their display
quality on the MemoryFrame.
If you use the DirectConnect feature to connect your camera (or USB
card-reader) directly to the MemoryFrame, you will get the best results
(fastest performance and fullest screens) by shooting pictures at either
640 x 480 or 1024 x 768. This will also increase the number of pictures
that can be stored on your Camera's Memory Card. When the
MemoryFrame is in "Portrait mode", photos taken at this size will have a
3:4 aspect ratio when rotated 90° for portrait orientation and will fill the
screen.
Photos larger than 640 x 480 (landscape) or 480 x 640 (portrait) will take
