The camera will need to be set into the appropriate mode to
transmit its pictures. Many cameras have two modes of operation:
proprietary and standard (driver-less) mode, and the camera has menu
items and/or buttons that set the USB mode. The standard (driver-less)

driverless mode (called “disk-drive” mode by some cameras) is required

After the camera is connected, use the MemoryFrame’s onboard Menu

described in the Camera Download section of Chapter 9, the
MemoryFrame Menu System chapter.

Preparing MemoryFrame to Communicate with Card-Readers
The MemoryFrame cannot be managed or communicate with a card
reader while it is displaying a slide show. In all cases, you must stop the
slideshow by pressing the Menu Button. This will place the
