Amazing, just been looking at this. Is there a way I can estimate the number of frames I can store in different formats. Sorry for the questions, sam

Depends on how much RAM you have on your board. Unless you have the H7 Plus, or any board with SDRAM its not much.

If you have an SD RAM based camera then you can do 31MB divided by (frame\_w \* frame\_h \* bits\_per\_pixel) where the bits per pixel is 8 or 16 for grayscale and rgb565 respectively.
