From the good old dark rooms to negatives to instant digital camera, the world of photography has indeed come a long way. Technology made it possible to move on from the old, manual photo album to smart, digital photo frames. But, technology never stops advancing and now the Kodak Pulse has taken digital photography to the next level. This digital photo frame is enabled with Wi-Fi, a touch screen (the first of its kind) and instant uploading options that make it easy for you to upload new pictures onto your frame as and when you like, no matter where you are.
So how does the Kodak Pulse work?
The USP of the Kodak Pulse lies in the fact that it is very user-friendly. The Kodak Pulse has a simple and fast installation set-up. There are no complicated and time-consuming software installations you need to worry about. The set comes with a main adapter which when plugged in turns on the frame. From here on, navigating the frame is pretty simple. Following the onscreen instructions, you must connect your device to your Wi-Fi network. Now remains one last step to completely activating your photo frame. That is going to Kodak’s website to create a free account and using the PIN given, and activating your frame by pairing your account and photo frame.
Now that you’re good to go, how do you upload photos onto your frame?
- · One way of uploading photos is through your computer. You can upload photos from the Kodak Gallery or even from Facebook!
- · A great feature of Kodak Pulse is that it allows you to create a special email address for your Pulse itself so you or anyone else can mail the pictures directly to your Frame! The pictures will immediately feature on the frame so warn your friends about the kind of pictures they choose to send. Your frame will instantly notify you every time a new picture is sent to it.
But what makes it special, you ask?
- · Well for one, the email option makes sure that you don’t have to look at the same photos all the time. With friends and family being allowed to send pictures, you’re in for constant pleasant surprises.
- · After listening to customer feedback, Kodak added a few more features that you will appreciate like being able to comment on a Facebook picture or replying to an email directly from your frame without logging on. The Quick Comment feature lets you reply to an email or choose from 12 saved messages right from your frame! You can even rotate a picture on the screen.
- · We all love creating playlists of our favorite songs to suit every mood. Kodak Pulse has the option of creating playlists of your pictures and you can also choose which ones you want to view. And needless to say, it creates a slideshow of the pictures in random order. Another option that the Kodak Pulse allows is that of viewing your pictures in the form of a collage instead of the usual full screen.
- · The Pulse’s memory of 512 mb is more than enough to store around 4000 photos. No, you definitely don’t have to worry about seeing the same old photos!
- · The picture clarity is all you could ask and more, thanks to the LED back lighting and 800*600 picture resolution.
The Kodak Pulse is, in short, a photo junkie’s dream.
