Recording Options

Resolution: This will let you set the resolution of the video that will be recorded.
Record until: You can use this setting to adjust how much free space must remain when
recording. It is suggested that you set this to at least 32M to allow for enough buffer space
for the camera to record with.
When storage is full: When your storage device is full or has reached the free space
limit specified in Record until, you can choose to stop recording, or you can have the
camera delete old recordings to free space for new recordings to be saved.

Note: If the camera is set to SXGA mode in Audio and Video, recordings will be made at a maximum of Medium resolution only.
