Order of pictures on internal memory? After reading the comments, I'm probably asking for too much, but here goes.I am wondering if anyone has tried to upload the pictures directly to the internal memory and tried to run a slide show that isn't random. I want the pictures to run in the order that they appear when the frame is connected to my computer. I numbered them and yet, the frame's internal memory seems to think that picture 30 belongs first. I'm not sure why it's latched onto that picture as the first one it wants to show, as it's the same size as the others and it's not the earliest dated photo.Should I just be grateful that my frame seems to work?Thanks.

If you're not technically savvy like FLY GUY listed above, try this:1. Delete all of the pictures on the digital frame (just make sure you have the originals on your computer)2. Label the pictures by the number of the order you want them on your computer first.3. Then add them to the digital frame.This worked for me. It didn't work when I just renamed the files while they were in the frame (from my computer).

BenFirst I have to say that I am extremely satisfied with this digital picture frame. To answer your question: There are several picture to picture transitions to choose from or a random transition selection as well. Picture to picture time can be either - 3s,5s,15s,1m,15m, or 1hr. Picture selection can be either random or in order.Hope this helps.Bob

Sorry, but I've never used the memory alone, I've always used a SD card. I would have guessed that the procedure would bethe same though. The camera has a proprietary cable for downloading images onto your computer, instead of a standard USB 2 cable. As long as you still have that cable that came with the camera and you have a software program for your computer to accept the download, it should be automatic and rather easy. Just connect the cable to the camera at one end and a USB port on your computer at the other end. I hope this helps.

I found that I needed to format a new memory card first if I wanted to view the pictures with a digital photo frame or other sources. if just going to store prints in your pc then no need to format.

Bob: I see your point, but wonder if the risk of card failure is any worse on the higher capacity card. So long as I download my photos and videos regularly, the only content at risk is the most recent shots which haven't been copied yet. Even a 4GB card can fail, and if it's got irreplaceable pics on it I'm likely to utter some things not intended for mixed company. I've read that the SD cards are only good for so many cycles of save/erase/save..., so presumably the larger capacity card gets erased less frequently, thereby reducing the risk of failure.

I haven't tried this, so I'm not sure. I just use the internal memory. I can tell you that when you use the internal memory, the pictures that are emailed indeed display. It's easy to transfer pictures to the frame from an SD card or from your computer.

Hello Jill, all you do is go to the menu screen, you will se two tabs "capture and setup" choose the set up tab by pressing the "ok" button. Then simply go down to where it says format, press the "ok" button and you will see two options, memory card or internal memory, make your choice click "ok" and you are set! Have Fun!

Always FORMAT new cards first in camera, I have been using the 16GB for quite sometimes now, no problem what's so ever!! Good luck!!

No, the pictures come from being uploaded by a memory card or memory stick. The frame is not connected to your computer. It is electric in that it is plugged in so that the picture frame lights up with the photos and rotates them continually. The memory card remains in the frame. Hope this helps.

Hello there Andrea. I am really not sure if the frame has that capability however what it can do is what I believe may be a "workaround." You have the ability to upload your photos onto an SD card. Those pictures are uploaded in the order you indicate such as folder names or dates etc. If your looking to display photos of Christmas you may do so either by photo name or date or random within the specified folder. That way you can play the holidays in order of year and even further filter by person/child. Now, what I do is something I have gotten quite a bit of feedback on. I have two children that I have taken on several trips all over the globe. I fly for a commercial airline so I have well in excess of 20k photos. I have them randomly playing from randomly chosen folders with random transition between photos. So literally you never see the same photo twice. All in all you have to remember, you are going to get out of your frame only what you are willing to put into it. Also, at this price point, you simply cannot beat the performance. One piece of advice, just when you think you have ordered the right size, go larger. I have quite a few now and truly the larger size frames are incredible. I hope this helps! Best and good luck!

I'm not sure how many photos the memory can hold (I use a USB for mine) but yes it runs as a slide show. I will warn you though, if you have edited the photos in any way the frame will not read them.

Hi Daniel M. Why would you want to change when the film2sb has a slide holder as well. It is a seven inch long holder, just drop 25 or so slides into the chamber ( stacked ), then slide the holder to the right to engage the first slide to drop, slide to left to view on the screen, click "ok" if it looks good and ok again to capture on the provided memory 2gb card. Do the same process again to eject the chosen slide and continue as before. I captured 300 very old cardboard half frame mounts all on to the memory card. Each slide takes3 or 4 seconds. Do you have a slide handler as well as a film handler, the slide handler is normally with the unit. So very easy, I was amazed. Hi Daniel M.

Not sure on that one. I try to rotate my pics and save how I want before loading onto memory disk for frame. Sorry.

Yes, this frame has a slide show feature. I set this up for my mother using an SD card. You can set up the slide show speed, shuffle photos, etc. You don't need to be connected to the internet to have your slide show if you are getting pictures from the card internally. If you wanted to connect to an online picture account (like Picasa), I presume you would need your frame connected to the wifi, but as I didn't set that up on the frame, I can't speak to how easy or difficult it was.

Conflicting answers! Several say it can be set to random - has anyone actually TRIED it? Or are they just saying the setting is there? I've had one that has a "random" setting and it doesn't shuffle the photos - they play in exactly the same order I loaded them on the flash drive. Can anyone explain the conflicting answers, or provide a link to a frame they KNOW will shuffle the order? Thank you.

It has some limited memory, but I have not figured out how to move the pictures over, so I just leave the flash drive in. I have had a lot of trouble with this frame and do not recommend it.

I have a 7FFICWO model. In addition to this information, I discovered that the only way that the picture frame would function properly from my 1G SD memeory card was to turn the frame on without the SD card plugged in; then plug the SD card in after it was on; then cycle to the 'slideshow' mode. Any other sequence resulted in the frame started out OK for several pictures and then freezing up.
