Digital photo frames allow you to display multiple photos as a slide show, or to have a single photo displayed for an extended period of time. Whether you're using a Pandigital brand or another brand, the first step is to put those photos onto a memory device. If you've saved your photos on your camera's memory card, simply remove the card from your camera and ensure the card is compatible with your photo frame. SD cards, select Compact Flash cards, MultiMedia Cards and various versions of memory sticks are typically compatible. If your camera saves photos on a hard drive or you have photos already saved to your computer that you want to use, you'll still need to save them to a compatible memory card before using them in the photo frame.
