follow the events being recorded.

The options are: Full (30/25 fps depending on whether it is NTSC/PAL), 15 fps, 7 fps,
3 fps, 1 fps, or custom (user defined).

To enter a specific record frame rate, click the >> button to access a dialog box and enter

the desired value using the numeric keypad. Click OK to accept the change or click
