Digital technology has firmly entered our lives. Now few people use ordinary film cameras. Too troublesome this matter is to charge the film, develop, print the pictures. Much easier to use a digital camera, especially since it is available on almost every modern phone. Having thus captured a lot of interesting moments, we are faced with a choice - where to put all this? To print in the nearest shop or on the printer, to put forever in a bulky dusty album or to store in electronic form, arranging for yourself periodic viewing using a computer? It is here that you will need such a beautiful modern device as an electronic photo frame.
Its convenience is obvious. Having small dimensions, it can store a large number of photos, for viewing which you can use several modes. In addition, it is very convenient to hold it in your hands or go with her on a visit to show friends or relatives the most significant moments of family life. An electronic photo frame can also be used as the most ordinary one, which is easy to hang on the wall to replace portraits or paintings.
So, what kind of photo frame to choose from all the diversity that exists today? First of all, you need to determine the size. On sale you can find both miniature - less than 5 ″, and exceeding 12 ″. Here, as they say - a matter of taste. But the most popular was the electronic photo frame with screen sizes of 7 ″ -12 ″. The resolution depends on the display, which is measured by the number of pixels per inch. The more of them, the better the image is perceived. For normal viewing of pictures on a medium-sized photo frame, 800x600 is enough. If it is possible to purchase with a higher resolution, it will not be worse.
The next thing you need to pay attention to is the viewing angle. You can find out this characteristic by reading the instructions for the photo frame. The viewing angle can vary between 100-180 degrees horizontally and 60-170 degrees vertically. There is no point in explaining that the larger it is, the more convenient it is to view photographs.
When choosing a photo frame, be sure to pay attention to the amount of its memory and the ability to connect external media to it. The larger it is, the more photos you can upload there.
The modern electronic photo frame allows you to not only view pictures, but also acts as a small home theater or music player. And therefore, a device that, in addition to the graphic formats JPEG, GIF, BMP, TIFF supports AVI, MOV, WMA and MP3, will not be amiss. Also, the presence of a built-in clock, calendar and alarm clock does not hurt.
The cost of these devices ranges from 1500-2500 rubles, although you can find both cheaper and more expensive (the latter is much more common). The larger the size and the number of "bells and whistles" that your electronic photo frame has - its price is higher. As for the manufacturer, it is difficult to choose any particular one, and therefore it is better to focus on the appearance, since the electronic photo frame is purchased primarily for yourself.
