Digital Foci, Inc. announced today that it’s shipping the new Pearl White “Wedding” Version of its
popular Photo Book, a portable digital photo album with an 8-inch 800x600 color digital LCD screen

2. and 4GB of internal memory. Available May 21st (with pre-orders starting now), Photo Book in Pearl
�
White is the perfect digital wedding album, with a sleek design encased in a soft leather-like case for an
�
elegant photo album that makes an attractive first impression, matching perfectly with wedding
�
themes.
�
Photo Book is an easy and innovative way for people to enjoy and share their wedding photos with
�
friends and family. With Photo Book, users have easy access to their photos in a portable album that
�
can be brought along to enjoy and share anywhere. Ideal for passing around while sitting on the sofa
�
and at family gatherings, Photo Book can run for over 2.5 hours on its internal battery, giving you the
�
convenience to share your photos in any setting. Compared to digital photo frames, the internal battery
�
on Photo Book makes it very easy to handle, eliminating the need to deal with messy AC power
�
cables.
�
Introduced in 2009 as a “Professional” version, the Black Photo Book has been consistently awarded
�
PMA Retailer’s “Hot Pick” (at PMA 2009 in Las Vegas, PMA Canada 2009 and PMA Australia 2009).
�
As predicted by these panels of retail buyers with expertise and knowledge of the photo industry, Photo
�
Book was one of the hottest sellers of the 2009 holiday season.
�
Photo Book lets consumers organize their photos into different album collections and choose a specific
�
album to view. The “Photo Album View” displays each folder as a separate photo album, showing its
�
folder name and a preview image of the first photo in the album. Brides and photographers can easily
�
organize their photos into different albums by event. Creating albums named “Engagement,”
�
“Ceremony,” and “Reception,” will makes it easy select a particular album to view. “Photo Thumbnail
�
View” lets you browse through the thumbnails of the photos in a selected photo album. In addition to
�
running a full screen photo slideshow with adjustable time intervals, you also have the option of
�
running the slideshow with a realistic page-turning effect. It is just like you were flipping through an
�
actual photo album. You can also add music to play in the background along with your slideshow.
�
To start using Photo Book, simply load photos to internal memory directly from a memory card (CF,
�
SD, SDHC, MMC, xD-Picture Card, Memory Stick, and MSPRO), by USB flash drive, or from your
�
computer. With the included USB cable, you can connect to your computer to easily transfer photos,
�
video, and music to Photo Book.
�
Perfect for wedding photographers to professionally display thousands of photos in a sleek portable
�
portfolio, Photo Book supports RAW images from a wide selection of DSLRs, in addition to JPEG,
�
BMP, GIF, and TIF image formats. Photographers can organize their photos into different collections,
�
and choose a specific collection to show depending on their audience. Photos are automatically rotated
�
to their correct orientation based on the EXIF data captured by the camera, and can also be zoomed,
�
panned, and rotated.
