Along with digital cameras and photography technologies, the digital frame has also emerged. The digital frame can be used to display photos digitally rather than having them printed out for display.
A digital frame, when used without a computer, reads the photos from a memory card. Most digital frames can accept multiple memory card formats ranging from mini SD to compact flash. To view photos on a digital frame, insert the memory card into a slot on the side of the digital frame.
As the technology for digital frames improves, there are likely to be even more features available to make the digital frame an even more commonly used item. While a digital frame can cost significantly more than a traditional picture frame, the ease of use to display many new photos more frequently can be worth the cost. Digital frames can dramatically reduce the cost of displaying the photos taken using digital cameras.
