Abstract
A technique for recording information in a battery operated device is provided such that quality level of the recorded information may be changed 'on the fly.' In one embodiment, while persistently recording information at a first quality level, the battery operated device may, in response to an input a desire or need to change recording quality level, thereafter persistently record the information at a second quality level different from the first quality level, without interrupting the continuity of the recording session. In a presently preferred embodiment, the information being recorded may comprise video information or audio information. Subsequent inputs indicating the need to change recording quality level yet again may also be received thereby causing the battery operated device to persistently record the information at yet another quality level, which quality level may be the same as the first quality level.
