5.1 Flash Memory Cards and USB Flash Drives
The photo frame supports SD/SDHC flash memory cards and USB flash drives, both
up to 32GB in size. While the photo frame can handle high resolution photos
directly from a digital camera, it is strongly recommended to resize photos
down to a lower resolution of about one megapixel in size. This allows more
photos to be stored at one time and smaller files are more easily displayed by
the photo frame.
The photo frame has a very small amount of built-in internal memory. It can be
used to hold a few small photos.
5.2 Choosing Storage Device
When more than one storage device is detected by the digital photo frame, it
is necessary to select which storage device to use. Once selected, all

will automatically start displaying a photo slideshow when it is turned on.

this behavior, refer to detailed settings in Chapter 6.
