Experiencing Multimedia 121

The recording length of MMS video is fixed. The recording automatically stops when the preset length is reached. However, you can manually stop recording the video at any time. The time indicator at the top-right corner of the screen indicates the time limit.

You can specify the encoding format to be either H.263 or MPEG-4 by clicking Menu > Advanced > Capture Format; however, the ideal format for MMS is H.263 (3GP).

After you capture the video file, click the Send icon ( ) to send the file through MMS.

Use zooming

Before capturing a still image or a video clip, you can first zoom in to make the object in focus appear closer, and you can zoom out to make the object appear further away. In all capture modes, press NAVIGATION up on your phone to zoom in or NAVIGATION down to zoom out. Alternatively, click Menu > Zoom to select a zoom ratio.

The camera zoom range for a picture or a video clip depends on the capture mode and capture size. The following table is a summary.

Please note the capture sizes available for certain capture formats also vary from one capture mode to another. The zoom range has been calculated based on the following ratio:

1.0x

= normal size (no zooming)

2.0x

= double enlargement

4.0x

= four times enlargement

8.0x

= eight times enlargement
