before automatically saving it and returning to the live Camera screen. Select No Limit if you do not

want to impose a time limit. Select No Review to immediately return to the live Camera screen after

fluorescent lighting. To reduce flicker, you can change the flicker adjustment setting to the proper

frequency (50Hz or 60Hz) of the country where your device is being used.

Record with Audio. Select On to record audio with the captured video clips. This is selected by default.

If you select Off and then capture a video clip, it will have no audio.
