Preferences - Digi-Frame DF-560 User Manual

Preferences:

The Preferences sub-menu allows you to select and change
many of the features of your Digi-Frame™. Rotate the wheel to
highlight the feature you want to change. As each feature is
selected, its current setting becomes visible. To change the cur-
rent setting, click the wheel again. The setting information's color
will change to yellow. Rotate the wheel to view the various
choices for that feature. Click the wheel again to select the set-
ting you want. Press Play/Pause (;) at any time to return to the
slideshow, the new preferences are saved automatically.
Transition Effect:
Your Digi-Frame™ features a variety of transitions between images. Here
are some examples. The transitions in your Digi-Frame™ may differ from
those listed below depending on the version of software shipped with your
Digi-Frame™. Check our website for software upgrades.
Wipe:
The screen is filled with black, then the new image "wipes" down from the top of the
screen.
Scattered Slides:
Images are reduced in size and displayed at random positions on the screen, for a
pleasing "varying border" effect.
Light Box:
Images are reduced and displayed as in Scattered Slides mode, but one on top of
another. As each successive image is displayed, the ones in the background become
dimmer and dimmer.
Black Stripes:
The old image is overwritten with stripes, then the new image wipes down from the top.
Bouncing Thumbnails:
A random selection of thumbnails from stored images is shown bouncing around the
screen for a few seconds between images.
Fade Out:
The current image quickly darkens to black, the next image in the show then wipes
down to replace it.
Dissolve:
The current picture dissolves into the next picture in the slideshow.
Mosaic:
Large chunks disappear, revealing the next picture in the slide show.
Secret panels:
Panels slide to reveal the next picture in the slideshow.
Random:
A transition effect from the list above, is selected randomly between each picture.

Auto Color Fill:
With Auto Color Fill On, your Digi-Frame™ will fill any unused portion of the
screen with a background color taken from the displayed image. This reduces
the "black bar" effect seen when pictures do not have the same 4:3 proportion
as the Digi-Frame™ screen.
Time Between Slides:
You can select the amount of time between image changes, from one sec-
ond to ten minutes. The time increments by one second for every wheel
"beep" up to five seconds, then 5 seconds per "beep" up to 60 seconds,
after which it increments by 15 seconds per "beep".
The Time Between Slides defaults to 5 seconds.
Slide Order:
You can choose to display the pictures in your slideshow either in the order
you selected in the Slideshow Setup screen, or in a random order. Select
"User-Defined Order" to show the pictures in sequence, or select "Random
(Shuffle)" to display the pictures in a random order.
Note: Whichever setting you choose here, only pictures that you have
added to the cur rently selected slideshow will be displayed.
Display Quality:
Select between Fastest, Medium, and Best. Fastest will be sufficient for most
images. If you notice a "blockiness" in your images, you might want to try a
higher quality setting.
Special Effect:
The Digi-Frame can display your Slideshow using any of a number of dif-
ferent and exciting special effects. The special effects do not change the
original digital picture on the memory storage card. Some of the special
effects supported are as follows.:
None:
This is the default setting. It displays all of the pictures as slides.
Black and White:
This displays all of the pictures in the slideshow as black & white pictures
Sepia Tone:
This displays all of the pictures in the slideshow as warm brown old-time photos.
Starlight:
This displays the pictures in the slideshow as if they were seen through light intensifier
goggles
Infra-red:
This displays the pictures in the slideshow to appear as if seen through an infra-red
camera.
Random:
A Special effect from the list above, is selected randomly for each picture in the
Sideshow.
