supported photo formats

The following photo file formats are supported:

•bmp

Windows bitmap file. Widely used in Microsoft Windows for pictures and backgrounds.

•jpg and jpeg

The JPEG format is the Internet and digital photo format standard used by most digital cameras.

•gif

Older format still widely available on the internet for photos, web pages, and clip art.

•png

Portable Network Graphics standard created in response to limitations in the GIF file format.

organizing photo albums

Unlike music files, photos contain very little information about their content. Therefore, photos are organized by their filename and by the folder they are in. Each folder will become an album on the receiver, and all files in the folder will appear in the album.

Many digital cameras will organize your photos into folders when you connect and unload them to your PC. Each time you dock or connect, a new folder is created using the current date and time, and all photos are copied into that folder.

You can also create your own photo albums. For instance, create a folder in the My Pictures directory called My Birthday and copy all your birthday photos into it. Your receiver will show the folder as a photo album named My Birthday. To play a slideshow of the album, highlight it and press the play button. To view a list of the photos in the album, highlight it and press the > (right arrow) button.

Similarly, you can give your photos meaningful names by changing the filename. Most digital cameras will number the photos sequentially. Rename the photo IM001059.jpg to My Birthday Cake.jpg. The photo will be named My Birthday Cake on your receiver.

You can create as many album folders as you need. Create a folder for the year, then create folders inside for each of the months, and then folders in each month for special occasions (birthday, vacation, holidays).
