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.

1Select Size from the settings menu.

2Select 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.

3Select 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, playback speed is 30 frames per second, with the exception of 120 fps where playback is at 15 frames per second.

WARNING: The great editing software on your LG KF757 is compatible with all video types except 640x480. Don’t record

in this format if you plan to edit your video.
