Reducing Video File Size

Note that capturing high resolution video files requires a
substantial amount of disk space for each file. After re-
cording video, check the video file size (right-click the file
and select Properties) and the remaining free space on
your hard disk (go to Computer, right-click the hard disk,
and select Properties). If necessary you can remove the
recorded video file to a removable medium e.g. CD, DVD
23) and select Start or USB Flash drive.
Note that the Windows system requires a minimum of
15GB of free space on the C: drive system partition. In
order to prevent system problems it is recommended that
you save the captured video file to a location other than
the C: drive, limit the file size of the captured video or re-
duce video resolution.
To Reduce Video Resolution Output Size:
1. Run the camera application from the desktop shortcut.
2. Go to Options and scroll down to select Video Capture Pin....
3. Click the Output Size drop box and select a lower resolution
size in order to reduce the captured file size.
