Video Mode

To start the video recording process, press the

Camera

button on the left side of your

T-Mobile MDA III, or the

Action

button on the navigation pad. To stop recording, press

either button again. This captures the incoming video stream and saves it to a file, using

your currently specified filename convention in

Options. Or, if you have set a file size

limitation using the

Limit Video File Size field in the Modes tab of Options, recording

will stop automatically when the KB size you specified is reached.
Video capture file formats include

Motion-JPEG AVI, H.263, and MPEG4, depending on

what you specify in the Modes tab of

Options.

Camera

calculates how much time is still

available for capturing more video clips,

according to your current settings and how much

storage space is available. In this example,

12 minutes and 32 seconds are available for

new video capture. This counter automatically

updates after you capture a video, or if you

change the

Resolution

or

Encoder

settings in

the Modes

tab

of

Options.

This indicator also functions as a time counter

during video recording.

A green “film icon” indicates a

capture-ready state. This changes

to a blinking red circle when video

capture is in progress.

The available Resolutions:

n

S

= Small (128 x 96)

n

M

= Medium (176 x 144)

n

L

= Large (320 x 240)

capability On or Off. When
