When I display photos in portrait mode, it cuts the heads off - as if it's not sizing the photo properly. How can I resolve this?

I had that issue at first. Try adjusting the display settings first, you may have to adjust the actual picture size if it's just too big.

I have the 10.4 frame the picture area appears as a normal frame not panoramic as I am seeing available in stores. If you have the same as I do you can crop your photos prior to putting on a SD card. To avoid cutting off the top I cropped from the bottom and it worked for me. Hope this helps.

Really intended for portrait mode, because of the clamping support. I Have tried using it in landscape mode, but you will need to make sure you clamp it tight and tilt the unit back a bit.

I have never had a similar problem when shooting in normal mode, BUT i did notice when shooting in HDR mode it drained the battery quickly and processed pretty slowly. I suspect the same is true for Panorama mode. I suspect both of these modes use a lot of processing power. I ended up taking it off of HDR mode and didn't have any problems. I bought a second battery from a guy on craigslist and like having a back-up, but that is more for when we haven't charged it for a while. I'm not sure if I did a firmware update or not.

Sorry for the delay in answering. The frame displays the photos the way they are fed into the unit on the SD card, so it does not rotate or adjust from portrait to landscape. You set either landscape or portrait and it displays all photos in that aspect ratio. I don't use the landscape mode as it stretches the portrait photo enough that I don't like the distortion.

I have had the same problem on a few of the photos I have scanned in. I clean the scanner and also try changing the orientation of the picture that I'm scanning in. Somehow, there is no line after this. Good luck!

You can go into the settings and select the aspect ratio. Make sure it's updated to the most current firmware.

I agree. also heard that if you scan your pics face to the back, it doesn't not reflect the glare as much. Has anyone hear this one?

I don't know.. You should make a YouTube video asking the photog community on their to help you. I'm sure you'll get someone who knows what's the problem. I'm not their to see what's going on so its hard to assist you with out me seeing what your doing.

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!

I have the same problem with the exact camera and fisheye lens. I still don't have a solution for my problem, I can't even get it to fit.

There are two settings. Original and Full. I use original, which means my 4:3 photos have black bars on the side. Full stretches and crops photos that are originally 4:3 to fit the 16:9. I use original, and keep all the original photo details, but will need to figure out how to shoot in 16:9. I'm sure you could also use other software to control the cropping and convert 4:3 to 16:9 keeping only the part of the photo you want.

Yes, but some images are too large and will not show up, others may be cropped (SEE my customer pics.) The camera crops wide screen (16:9) to fit, 2:3 is too small so it gets "blown up" to fit, so I usually do 4:3 with little cropping on the wide edge.

If you're trying to load .jpg's and you feel like you have tried everything, you're probably doing the same thing I did. On the Viewsonic VFD820 Digital photo frame, the photos have to be in the BASELINE format. Its the most important part if you're getting the red circle with a slash. I took all the photos off Facebook and they are in PROGRESSIVE format. ****I saved them all as .tiff and then exported them all as .jpg with 1000 max pixel dimension and this solved my troubles. If you just save it as .jpg with out changing to .tiff (or .png) it will just revert to the progressive format. I hope this saves someone some time.

You have to disable the face recognizer. I think this will resolve your problem! Hope this hel!

I'm having the same problem ^^^. It is greyed out when scanning photos, in any mode.

YOU HAVE TWO OPTIONS:1. Check your monitor settings, most have a button to reverse and spin your image on the screen.2. If you don't have that, re-mount your camera upside down or merely rotate the camera in the frame to get the correct orientation.Dan

I believe that is more related to the firmware/software in the head unit. As I was reading up on this camera and alternatives, prior to buying it, some reviews said that depending on your head unit, the picture may be reversed.I would check your head unit's features, as the camera doesn't do the "reversing," the H/U takes care of that.
