What's Kind Of Memory Card That Digital Frames Use

Depending on the model of the product, Digital Photo Frames come with different options and functions. Some of the more expensive and sophisticated models can even play music as well as display movies.

Most models and types of Digital Photo Frames can accept many memory card formats. The most commonly acceptable memory card formats are SD and MMC. JPEG is one of the widely acceptable bitmap format for displaying the image. JPEG is the most commonly used image file format that is supported by all compact cameras and DSLRs.

Digital photo frames typically display the pictures directly from a camera's memory card, though some frames also provide internal memory storage. Certain frames allow users to directly upload pictures to the frame's memory via a USB connection. However, few digital photo frames have built-in memory and due the high price of built-in memory this feature has been seen mostly on high-end frames, and the memory provided has been relatively small.

All digital photo frames can display JPEG pictures on its screen. Most will display the photos as a slideshow, usually with an adjustable time interval. Some can also send photos to your printer.

However, others support additional multimedia content, including movie clips recorded in a digital camera's movie mode, MPEG video files and/or MP3 audio, set as soundtrack to your slideshow.

Certain frames can also load pictures over the Internet from RSS feeds, photo sharing sites such as Flickr, Picasa, FrameChannel and even from e-mail. Such networked models usually support wireless (802.11) connections.

Other ones can display .txt files. Digital photo frames represent an advance on the old paper photo albums, because you don¡¯t have to pull them off the shelf to look at them, and they¡¯ll turn the pages for you!
