Reducing Video File Size
Note that capturing high resolution video files requires a substantial amount of disk space for each file. After
recording video, check the video file size (right-click the file and select Properties) and the remaining free space
on your hard disk (go to My Computer, right-click the hard disk, and select Properties). If necessary you can
remove the recorded video file to a removable medium e.g. CD, DVD or USB Flash drive.
Note that the Windows Vista system requires a minimum of 15GB of free space on the C: drive system partition.
In order to prevent system problems it is recommended that you save the captured video file to a location other
than the C: drive (see “Set Capture File” on page E - 46), limit the file size of the captured video (see “Pre-
Allocating File Size/Space” on page E - 45) or reduce video resolution (see below).
To Reduce Video Resolution Output Size:
1. Run the camera application program from the desktop shortcut.
2. Go to Options and scroll down to select Video Capture Pin....
3. Click the Output Size drop box and select a lower resolution size in order to reduce the captured file size.
4. Click OK.

Capture Filter options.
1. Run the camera application program from the desktop shortcut.
