Long videos on the iPhone end up being huge files (60MB) or larger. I just played with my Canon Viixia HFR800's settings and set my camcorder to record in the web/email format and a 40 second video is only 19MB! Unless I am mistaken using the built in iPhone settings one cannot get a 40 second iPhone video to be 19MB set on the lowest setting.

I am not making commercials, Youtube videos, or doing anything but storing memories and sometimes sharing them so no need for the high res settings. If anyone has a solution please reply. The web/Email format is only available on my Camcorder and not on my Powershot snapshot camera.
Switch to High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) and reduce resolution to that of your Viixia that is 1080p or 720p
