Hi,
if you have a photo in jpeg format then it is possible to save it in jpeg format too but changing the parameter "JPEG quality factor" from 100% to 80% for example. The pixels of photo will be the same but the size smaller. I usually use Microsoft Photo Editor application on my Windows PC:
1- open file
2- save as ...
3- choose jpeg format
4- press button "more"
5- change jpeg quality factor %
6- press save

Bye

That is not exactly to calculate. It depends on the stored image sizeand quality.
Small pictures could be 400KB a piece, but large ones easily can go up to 6GB
a piece. If you know thye avaerage size of your pictures, you can calculate it.

Open your photo using Microsoft Office Picture Manager.
Click on Edit Picture.
and Select Resize option and reduce your resolution and save the Photo.
It will reduce the photo size.

It seems that it's not about the size of file or resolution of the photo!

I was given one of these yesterday. I copied my photos on to a 64mb SD card of unknown make. They display fine on my PC but on my Photo Frame I get the "no playable file" message. I tried changing file size etc but no good.

As a last resort I copied my same photos on to a 2GB SanDisk SD card and tried that. It works fine. So my guess is that these photo frames are picky on what SD card they'll accept.

A pity the manual doesn't tell you so!

make sure that the file size of the photo you transfer on the Mp3 Player is not big or it's file size must meet the player required file/photo size..640x### will do..

You can do that in 2 ways.

1) Shoot the photo or video in reduced size (less quality). This can achieved by adjusting the settings in your camera.

2) Use 3rd party software like photoshop or Microsoft paint to manually reduce the size using it.

Okay this file size is very small and even if you could chage the settings on your camera to the lowest , I'm sure the filesaize will still eb too large.
What to do is use a photo editing program such as adobe or maybe even something else you can get for free. when saving the image you will be able to enter the image size or select what quility, the lower the quality the lower the file size.
To check the file size of an image just right click on it and go down to properties, remember 1mb is equal to 1024kb
Hope this helps
