You have two options..

1. There is a icon on the camera app screen when ot os open, one looks like a camer and the other looks like a video camera and if you click this the selection will change, you can press this to switch back and forth from the camera to video..

2. With app closed and you go to app launcher you will see two icons.... One says Camera and other says Camcorder, depending on which you select that will be what mode the camera will open in at that time..

once you are in the camcorder, select menu, video quality. if you are wanting these to be quality video to keep, then use "hd 720." however, this will create a huge file so transfer will likely need to be done via the usb. if you ever want to shoot something that you want to attach to a text (just a short clip to send to a friend or family member immediately), then set it to "mms." this will be poor quality, but if it's short you will be able to immediately text it to someone....and looks decent on a feature phone, media phone, or flip phone (or an older smartphone or a smartphone with a small screen).

So hd is they way for me. I will be sending the videos to my son's facebook. Do i have to do it threw usb or from phone ?

If the images are recorded in 720p the images may get large and my should transferred to a pc or transferred on wifi to avoid any issues..

If i transfer threw pc i just use the usb cable and it should auto run right ?
