When you use the Save to Memory option, frames will be saved as image files similarly
to the simple saving (see

“Saving Options” on page 47

). Video will be saved as a .smx file

which can be replayed and converted to the .avi file with the SMXView utility that goes
with the standard SMX-M7x software package.

Saving video directly to memory can slow down the camera’s output visualization, but
this method insures that no frames are missing in the saved file.
