Sharing your Online Photo Albums on Facebook, Twitter and MySpace

Online Photo Album - Social Networking Sites menu

A new sharing option in your Online Photo Albums!

Most of us are now members of a social network. Some Social Networking Websites offer a way to share images but do not usually come with many features. Often, your friends can only view your photos in a small format not always suitable for full screen viewing or printing.

The CANON iMAGE GATEWAY Online Photo Album, available from your "Share" menu, offers free 2GB online storage for your images for all owners of compatible products1. It comes with great features such as online image editing, sharing your photos in their original size and even a view counter that tells you how many people have visited your shared albums.

With the new CANON iMAGE GATEWAY "Invite by Social Networking Site" function, you can have the best of both worlds and share your Online Photo Albums on Facebook, Twitter and MySpace in just a couple of clicks.

Share with all your friends in a couple of clicks

In the "Invite by Social Networking Site" menu, you'll be able to select between Facebook, Twitter and Myspace. For each, a pop up window will open and you will be able to customise your status update or tweet before you post it.

If you were not already logged in to the selected site, you will first be prompted to enter your log in details2.

The sharing settings option will vary between websites.
