I loaded about 125 photos at full resolution(up to 20mb/picture) and the frame worked flawlessly. Then I repressed the same photos to reduce their size and to see if there would be any noticeable difference. There was no apparent difference. It continued to work flawlessly and it displayed all of the photos that I loaded. I expect it can (and will) store and display several thousand images with the 4GB thumb drive but I haven't load that much yet. I suggest that you try fewer images and/or reduce the resolution of the images. Consider the size of the library that you have loaded. Other than that I have no more suggestions.

Hello, Thanks for your question. To get a more random playback, make sure all of your photos are in 800 x 600 and with logical names like 001, 002, 003, etc. You will see duplicates every so often, like if you shuffle a deck of cards, so this is normal. You can also email us at support@nix-digital.com for further assistance if needed.

I am not sure. I have about 600 on mine but have never noticed if they all run through or not. Mine are on a flash drive.

I only have about 300 photos on mine and it seems to eventually get to all of them, sometimes repeating some of them. My only suggestion would be to put the photos in ascending order ( and moving some to mix it up) and put the frame on photo order. Sorry I can't think of anything else.

I would go with the other comment by EDay. I usually have found if my camera is not performing a certain function it is probably a setting has accidently been changed. Sometimes an employee at a local camera shop can help you out-they like to show al they know. Good Luck!

It's been a while but maybe I used the camera's format function. I am using it regularly, so it does work! Did I format with PC? Don't remember. If still an issue I'd try SCT support but should be easier than that.

There is a lag between photos. Depends on how strong your batteries are at the time you are taking multiple pictures. Hope this helps.

Hi,I don't have advice- but have the same problem! I'm frustrated that I purchased this camera and now can probably not return it!!! Good luck!! let me know if you find any tricks to get better pictures.

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.

Actually having the same problem so I don't know. I have not gotten around to reloading from scratch. I just loaded pics from a flash drive and turn the device on and off manually. Works fine that way.

I ordered this card twice. Neither card would work properly. I thought it was me but my photographer friends tried and neither cards worked. Sent them back and got my money back. I can't answer that question.

Ugh, I have this problem too! I bought to be a gift for my grandmother, and spent a while collecting photos from family so I could preload the photos for her. Finally got everyone's photos, loaded them to a card, and tried out the frame only to discover it powers itself off after 5-6 photos every time! There's no setting for this, so I can only imagine it's not supposed to do that and is just defective, but now it's too late to return and still get to my grandmother for Christmas!

If you have not formatted the card, try doing so on your PC. If every card that you put into it has a card error message, it might be the camera.

Hmmm she should definitely not be out of memory with only 10 photos, check to see if she accidently used the video mode. If she did, delete whatever video is on it see if that clears the "out of memory". If that does not work I would exchange it. The camera itself is a very good camera but there is always the chance of a bad apple in the batch.

I'm no digital geek, but try a different memory card, or maybe a different kind of card reader. I had the same thing happen to me with a Nikon D300, and once I switched the card, it was all right. Worth a try, anyway. BruceS

Why not just put one picture in the display. Then it can't change to another picture. Or 10 copies of the same picture. Then when it changes you get a momentary blank followed by the same picture.

I'm thinking it might be related to the dark corner issue. I noticed more than one reviewer complained about this and there are photos posted up in the customer photo section illustrating this issue. I was going to purchase this camera myself until I saw this potential problem. For example:

I actually returned the camera. My pictures were out of focus. I tried several settings and different lighting and it was inconsistent. I didn't have that problem with the other point and shoots I've owned. I only uploaded a photo to Facebook once and it wasn't difficult. You connect with wifi.

I have not had that problem. When you save your picture, if it displays type to save it as. Save as jpeg, would be my only thought.

I haven't narrowed down a specific time this occurs...It def occurs when using flash and in low lighting, but occurs at other times as well. Using a very good memory card, can't remember off top of head but it has tons of storage. I have not reformated, my husband keeps telling me too :)Shooting in jpeg only.Guess I'll try reformating first! That would be too easy!
