Digital picture frames are a mix between a conventional picture frame and a computer display. They look like a regular picture frame, but instead of simply displaying a paper print, they display pictures on a LCD.

What is zoom?

Sometimes when you take a photo you need to focus on one area in the picture frame. For example when you take a portrait photo you want to make sure the object’s face fills the photo frame while when you take a group photo you want to make sure everybody is in the photo frame.

In to focus on that one area in the photo frame you can either physically move closer to the objects or use the camera’s zoom feature. When using the zoom feature the camera (mechanically when applying an optical zoon or electronically when applying a digital zoom) enlarges that area to fit the full picture frame.

The rest of the world can’t seem to get enough of the revelation that we call the digicam.

Going digital with our photography has resulted in a number of other issues. For instance, the photo frames of the days of yore have fallen into disuse. We do not get our photographs developed anymore. Instead, we end up loading the pictures on to our computers.

At least, till the latest photography gadget emerged on the market.
