I'm gonna have to agree with George's earlier post...somwhere in iether of the two manuals, there is an answer....but we've ruled out defective card, defective frame and defective camera.
It's a compatibility/setting issue on either the camera or the photo frame.....
either the frame or the camera should have a setting you can adjust.....
trial and error and manuals are your only options....
other than keeping a card for the frame and having to transfer through the laptop every time.
Right mate, i`ll get reading again..
Thanks again for your help.
I suspect the frame software is to blame. It only expects to find a single path to pictures on the card, and can't cope if there is a choice.

Or you need to re-read the manual!

Or you could read his problem again George.

When he uses the pics from his camera, not the Optio, the pics look fine on the 'frame', so it's not an issue with the frame. If he uses the card from his camera in his wife's Optio, the pics look naff on the frame, so it's not a card issue. Therefore it would seem to be a problem with either the camera, or the way the frame deals with the pics from the Optio.

As Don said, it may be that for some reason the frame is showing the a low res version of the image, perhaps from an embedded thumbnail. Or perhaps the way the image is resized for display is messing up the definition.

Try the Optio on a different sized image, ie. set it to 3Mp or something, lower than the hi-res 7Mp, and see how that looks, it might be that the pixel dimensions are more suited to the resizing than the &mp ones.

I don't have a photo-frame or an Optio, but it seems that the frame is addressing the wrong files on the card. Either the frame software is badly designed, and can't let the user select what is required, or the user can select, but needs to read the manual to find out how.

At least, that is how it seems to me. Whatever the reason, it is absurd to blame the camera.

it's probably playing the thumbnails, not the large images.
But when i put my memory card in the pics are great..I put the wifes card in my camera, and the pics were great..That`s how i know its not a problem with the digital photo frame or memory card..It`s got to be something to do with the camera.
If the pictures are OK on the pc, it can hardly be a problem with the camera.

I suggest you read the instructions again.

George,

Your knowledge of the south coast is amazing, given your home address
I used to sail around the south coast quite a lot. When you go aground as often as I used to, you have plenty of time to admire the view.

Great pictures, by the way.

Spider,

I'll take cold and wet any time.

It's snowing so hard here today, everyone cancelled for the supper.

There's food for 20 sitting out in our unheated garage.

Needless to say I am staying well away from Mrs. Mac!

So is the cat.

And if He's smart, so is God.

Gawd!!! what a day.

Oh wait, is that Mr. Bowmore calling??

Why, I do believe it is.....

Here's to your very good health everyone!
Look on the bright side - in those temperatures, the food will keep.

And thank goodness for Mr B.

Cheers.

Well done Martin and Lilly.

And to all the other contributors who, in a less competitive field, might have earned the top prize. The overall standard was very high.

If the camera is faulty it will be cheaper to buy a second-hand replacement from ebay than have it serviced. P30 bodies can be bought for less than £15 including postage.
Good point. A better bet is, of course, the Super A.
