The Frameo digital picture frame is fairly easy to operate, with some amount of minor frustration. Out of the box, I was able to power up and connect to my wi-fi. It downloaded an update and was ready for action. I did not download their recommended app. Initially I used a 64GB microSD card which it did not recognize. It works with a 32GB microSD card, in which I uploaded thousands of digital photos and video clips arranged in many folders. I copied all these folders under a main folder called “DCIM” on the micro SD Card. On inserting this card, the frame recognized it and provided options to play from the card or import them to the frame. Playback commences from there on. The pictures are clear and bright (18 megapixel DSLR shots). The settings menu can be used to customize several items such as playback time, brightness, etc. The frame can be mounted in landscape or portrait mode by screwing in the backrest appropriately. It plays videos too and shows a volume control on the screen, but the sound is merely passable being tinny. The picture automatically rotates when the frame is rotated. What I did not like: (a) the touch screen is not very sensitive and requires holding down on the option till it greys out and is recognized. (b) response time is on the longer side. (c) would have liked a direct interface via usb to a computer where pictures can be transferred to the frame, instead of via the microSD card. Recommended!
