The 5M option limits ROI to 2, and recording via the camera (e.g. SD card) is disabled. Minilux mode uses noise cancelation technology to provide clearer image quality in low lux conditions. - Page 35 The GOP (Group Of Pictures) can also be adjusted. The GOP is based on the FPS setting. For example, if the FPS is 20 and the GOP setting is 2, then the GOP is 40 frames. A GOP is comprised of one I frame and the remainder are P frames.
