Adding Pictures to an Album

You can view any image file in BMP, GIF or JPEG format. In addition, you have the option of playing a sound file as the picture is displayed. The picture and sound files should reside under the \My Documents folder on your device, or under \My Documents on your storage card. (We recommend you place the files in a subfolder under \My Documents.)

Using a Storage Card: If you want to keep images on your storage card, we recommend you create a subfolder under \My Documents on the storage card, i.e. \Storage Card\My Documents\Photos. However, you can add photos from any folder on your device.

The viewing area for pictures is 240 x 320 pixels in full-screen mode, or 240 x 271 pixels when the menu bar is showing. Any pictures smaller than this are centered, surrounded by a black border. Any pictures larger than this are scaled to best fit the display area by default. For best results, try to make all of your pictures 240 x 320 pixels.

To add one new picture to the current album:

1. Select Picture, Insert from the menu.
   The picture properties dialog appears:
   
   
   
   
2. Choose the picture file you want to add.
   You can narrow the number of pictures displayed by selecting a folder.
3. Add a caption to the picture.
4. Tap the More Properties button.
   The More Properties dialog appears:
   
   
   
   
5. Select a sound to play when the picture is opened (optional).
6. Enter keywords that describe the picture
   The keywords and caption are used when searching for the picture.
7. Enter the Slide Show Time.
   The Slide Show Time dictates how long a picture is to appear in a slide show. The value you enter is in milliseconds, or 1000ths of a second. For example, enter 5000 to display a picture for five seconds. This setting has no effect if you are just browsing pictures.
8. Tap OK when done.
   The new picture is inserted after the current picture.

You can also insert the entire contents of a folder, including all the BMP, GIF and JPEG files in that folder.

To insert every picture in a folder:

1. Navigate to the picture where you want to insert the new pictures.
   This picture will be BEFORE the new pictures.
2. Select Album, Add All Pictures from Folder.
   The Select Directory dialog appears.
   
   
   
   
3. Tap the folder that contains your pictures. You can expand and collapse the tree by tapping on the plus or minus to the left of the folder icons.
4. If you want to add photos from all the subfolders of the selected folder, check Include Subfolders.
5. Tap OK.
   The pictures are inserted into your album.

Note: You can reorder your pictures by selecting Album, Reorder Pictures from the menu. The initial order of images is by the creation date of the image file.
