Pictures being displayed sideways or upside downUpdated a year ago

This issue usually occurs when photos are taken with the camera sideways. It's especially common when using a smartphone. Depending on the position of the camera, the orientation of the photo will vary. If you have a computer running windows 8 or later, the computer will adjust the orientation of the photo to be displayed correctly.  However, Windows does not correct the actual photo.

To determine the actual orientation of the photo, you will need to download a photo viewing/editing software.

For Windows:

Anny Studio JPEG Lossless Rotator

An alternative option for Windows computers is to right click the photo and open it with Windows Photo Viewer. Then rotate the picture to the desired orientation and save the file. Then, load the resaved photo to the frame and it should be displayed in the orientation it was saved in. 

For Macs:

You can use iPhoto/Photo Library. Load all the images and export with the following settings
Kind: JPEG
Quality: Low
Size: Medium

After loading the corrected photos to the frame, they will be displayed in the correct orientation on the frame.
