Question: When turned on, will the frame pick up where it left off or start from the beginning?
Document: Bouth this for my grndmas and there are only 2 drawbacks I hope are corrected. When you stop the slide show it starts from the beginning instead of where it left off; image sare also out of focus at first and then sharpen up - would be nice to see a clear picture from the start.
I've just received the frame today. After copying the pictures onto the flash drive coming with the package, I plugged the drive into the frame; then turned the frame on. The photos started displaying as a slide show. I've left the fame on since. You can also look at the pictures selectively. If the frame can last, it's definitely a good purchase. There are video, music etc. other functions that I haven't tried yet.
We like the motion detector, it works beautifully. This frame size is just right for our living room, good clarity and good setting options. The only thing we didn't like - we're noticing random picture selection seems to choose the same images too often, and when turned off and back on will always start at the same picture.
I will no longer need to worry about this problem. I added several hours worth of photographs and still have more than half of the memory space left. I have no idea how I will fill it up, but it is nice to know that I wasn't limited to a few photos from each of my photo files. I sat it next to my favorite spot in the living room and let it run. There is a fabulous feature that allows you to set a start time and end time.
Very happy with this frame and the quality. The screen format of 4:3 is perfect. I read other reviews of widescreen frames and the problem that causes but I don't see any issues with formatting, even on photos longer than wider. My photos look great, from the iOS photos to my DSLR photos. Brightness color and contrast are good and I left them on the standard setting.
WOW! We are very impressed and highly pleased with this photo frame. We had an eight inch frame but were beginning to have problems with it and wanted to replace it with a larger frame. I reviewed almost all the photo frames that were ten inches and larger and also went to the manufacturer's website to review all the specifications. After this thorough review, we settled on this NIX frame - and we are very happy that we did.
I asked my wife to get me this frame for Charismas. I found the frame easy to set up. The little thumb drive that comes with it works well and I had no problem loading pictures to it. I resized the pictures in Photoshop before loading the pictures to the drive. The photos are clear and viewed nicely from most angles left and right of the frame. The only change I would like to see to the frame has to do with the setting of the on and off times.
Horizontal/Landscape photos look great, and Vertical photos look very good. The smaller frame we used to have did not work with vertical images; not only were they even smaller, it left white space showing on either side. This NIX frame is larger, of course, but it has only black space on either side, so vertical photos show well. (Note: There are a few of these that are 'stretched to fit' when they appear, making things look a little wider than they should.
This is just like watching non-high def TV shows on your high def wide-screen TV; you get the black "letterbox" bars on the left and right side. So, I have no issue with the X12B frame being 4:3 ratio. The frame will auto-size/auto-rotate and optimize the photo for the aspect ratio of the frame.Now for the technical caveats:1. The frame will only display pictures that are in the .JPG file format.
It is so much nicer than an older technology frame. Plug in the flash drive and the pictures start. Set-up functions are intuitive and can be changed easily. I haven't used the video player or music function and probably won't as this one is for my office.
Answer: it starts from the beginning, however, if you go to menu, it brings screen of pictures and you can scroll through quickly and start where you want.  The picture is bright and clear and the remote makes it easy to navigate.
