MMS Video Mode

The MMS Video capture mode is convenient if you want to capture a video file and then send it via MMS. To start an MMS video recording, 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.

In order to be compatible with most MMS Composer software, video files typically need to be in the H.263 (3GPP) file format, and the file size limitation is typically 95 KB. Therefore, a file size limitation of 95 KB is permanently set for the MMS Video capture mode. When the video currently being recorded reaches a file size of 95 KB, the recording process will automatically stop. Although it is recommended that you use H.263 as the output file format for videos to be sent via MMS, you can change it to Motion-JPEG AVI or MPEG4 format.

The file size is automatically limited to 95 KB for each video captured using MMS Video capture mode. Camera auto- matically calculates the amount of time that can be recorded, according to the selected Encoder type and Resolution. In this example, a maximum of 10 seconds can be recorded.

When video capture is in progress, this indicator functions as a time counter that displays the number of minutes/seconds that have elapsed during the current recording.

In this example, the Encoder type (file format) is set to H.263. NOTE: When H.263 is selected, the Large size (320 x 240) listed below is not available:

n S = Small (128 x 96)

n M = Medium (176 x 144) n L = Large (320 x 240)

Ambience is set to Fluorescent (Tools Menu) and the current Zoom ratio has been set to 3.0 in this example.

Audio recording is disabled. Tap to turn On or Off.

If Review after capture is selected in the General tab of Options, the Review screen will appear. In it, the first frame of the newly-captured video file will be displayed, and you can take the desired

further action. You can tap the Send via MMS icon in the Review screen to immediately initiate the “Send via MMS” process, which will open the MMS Composer screen.
