TIP! When you exit the video

camera all your settings will return
to default, except image size and
image quality. Any non-default
settings you require will need to
be reset, for example colour tone
and white balance. Check them
before you shoot your next video.

Changing the video image size

The more pixels, the larger the file size,
which in turn means they will take up
more memory. If you want to fit more
videos onto your phone you can alter
the number of pixels to make the file
size smaller.

1 Select Size from the settings menu.

2 Select a pixel value from the four

options:

640x480(W) - The highest quality
wide screen option.

320x240 - Smaller image size,
therefore smaller file size. Great for
saving on memory space.

176x144 - Smallest image size and
therefore a smaller file size.

16:9 Wide - Wide screen option.

3 Select the size option you’d like to

use and press Save to implement
your changes. The settings menu
will automatically close, ready for
you to shoot your video.

NOTE: When you view your videos,
