israa_elmaddah Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 <p>Hello there,</p><p>I am using canon 650D camera. I am not a fan of video recording but sometimes I need it. when I shoot video and try to transfer files, the file size is very big. It splits the video and almost all of them is 3.98 GB. I don't need this size for now. Is there a special settings in my camera that reduces the big size while shooting. <br />Like for example shooting photos in Large and Raw etc.</p><p>Thanks for your help</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2imaging Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 <p>Looks like the 650D will do:<br> 1920 x 1080 (29.97, 25, 23.976 fps)<br> 1280 x 720 (59.94, 50 fps)<br> 640 x 480 (30, 25 fps)<br> Pick a lower resolution and/or a lower frame rate and your file size will shrink. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethspics Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 <p>There is a direct correlation between file size and video quality. The 3.98GB size is the limit for the FAT32 system used on the cards, so the camera uses a technique called chunking. Some editing packages can seamlessly join the chunks together, some can't.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

israa_elmaddah Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 <p>Dear Gareth,<br> So I can't change is? </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc2imaging Posted June 15, 2016 Share Posted June 15, 2016 <p>No, I don't have a manual for your camera, and I've never had one, so I cannot tell you where this setting is. You probably need to put it in video mode and drive down into some menus to change it, but that's all I can tell you. Canon probably has the manual online, or try some of the guys over in the Canon forum.</p> <p>As far as the 4 gig limit goes, no, you can't change that. The camera will never make a file larger than 4 gig, period.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garethspics Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 <p>I can't really add to Matthew's response. Video files are huge because you are effectively taking 30 pictures every second. Software can reduce this later if the final viewing is to be of lower quality.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
