4.Frequently Asked Questions & Troubleshooting

What is the optimal resolution of photos to be played back on Photo Book?

ƒThe recommended resolution for the images is the actual screen resolution of Photo Book, which is 800x600 (SVGA) resolution. Please note that images of higher resolution will be automatically resized for display according to the screen resolution.

ƒBy resizing image that have a higher resolution than the screen resolution, you will create smaller file sizes and will be able to store more photos in on the Internal Memory.

ƒAlternatively, the zoom feature will provide sharper looking zoomed images on higher resolution photos.

Can I rotate photos on Photo Book? How does Photo Book handle photos shot in portrait?

ƒPhotos on Photo Book will be displayed according to the photo orientation information available in the EXIF data captured with the photo. Most digital SLR cameras will have this photo orientation information. Photos taken in portrait orientation will be automatically rotated when it is displayed on Image Moments. If the digital camera does not capture this information with the photo, the photo will be displayed in its original orientation.

ƒYou can also manually rotate the photo on the screen. When you view a photo full screen in manual mode, you can press OK to rotate the picture by 90 degrees. Note that the rotated image will return to its original orientation the next time you view it. To retain the orientation settings for the pictures, you can rotate the images in your computer and copy the edited images onto the Photo Book.

ƒNote that the rotate function will not work in Photo Book Slideshow or Full-Screen Slideshow mode.

What is the aspect ratio of the screen? If I have photos with 3:2 or 16:9 aspect ratios, how will they be displayed on the device?

ƒThe aspect ratio on Photo Book is 4:3. If you have photos in a 3:2 or 16:9 aspect ratio, the photo will be displayed in a letterbox with black bars on top and bottom of the screen in the default view mode. There will be no rescaling or distortion of your photos.

The slide interval is set to 1-Second, but it seems to take longer than 1 second to change the picture. Why is it like this?

ƒPhotos of larger file sizes will take more time to load. Selecting 1-Second does not mean that the next photo will appear in exactly 1 second. It means that the next photo will start the loading process after 1 second. Large files may take longer than 1 second to display.
