Video
Select one of these options to adjust the video capture speed.
Video is made up of many still frames (pictures). When these still pictures are viewed in rapid succession, it creates a sense
of motion. Speed is determined by how many frames are displayed (or captured) each second. These options directly affect
the file size of the video capture and is dependent on the performance of the hard drive to keep up with the frame rate.
Fast - Large video file size captured at up to 30 frames per second, however, the rate may vary depending on the sys-
tem you are using and the frame size of the video you are capturing.
Normal - Default setting, creating moderate video file size captured at up to 15 frames per second.
Slow - Select this option to display and capture video at 7 frames per second and to conserve hard drive space.
Other - Use this option to manually type in a frame rate between 1 to 30.
Some systems may require optimization, as described in Chapter 10, to successfully capture at faster frame rates.
