5. Frequently Asked Questions & Troubleshooting
What is the optimal resolution of photos to be played back on Photo Book?
ƒ The 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.
ƒ By 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.
ƒ Alternatively, 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?
ƒ Photos 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.
ƒ You 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.
ƒ Note 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?
ƒ The 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?
ƒ Photos 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.
