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
