The COOLPIX S51c’s wireless LAN feature allows users to take advantage of the my Picturetown
services, with which pictures can be uploaded to the server on the Internet for viewing by your
family and friends, or the server can be used as a personal storage for storing pictures. The following services are available with my Picturetown:
Picture Mail: Pictures are uploaded to the my Picturetown server, and e-mail
notification of picture
upload will be sent to specified recipients. Uploaded pictures can be viewed by accessing the
webpage specified in the e-mail notification from a computer or cellular telephone*.
* The use of cellular telephone e-mail addresses is only possible in the United States, and is supported
only for BlackBerry smartphones (version 4.0 or later recommended).
However, pictures cannot be viewed with some of these cellular telephones.
Picture Bank: Pictures are uploaded to the my Picturetown server for storage. The my Picturetown
server can then be used as a personal server for storing pictures and uploaded pictures can also be
displayed in your web browser and downloaded to a computer.
Connect to the Internet at locations where home or public wireless LAN is available. This guide provides step-by-step instructions for connecting to a public wireless LAN to upload pictures.
l T-Mobile HotSpot
