Video settings advice needed for SL2

Advertisement (gone after registration)

I know nothing of video standards and have never had the need to use my SL2 for video.  But I will need to in a couple of days. I  will be shooting short clips of 10 seconds to a minute, nothing longer.  I would like to be able to send them conveniently by text eventually to friends to view on their phones.

I will be grateful if this knowledgable crew can advise me on the best settings so the files aren't huge or incompatible with Android/iPhones.

 

Thanks in advance

Wouldn’t it be simpler to use your phone all the way?

of course if the subject wasn't so far away..  I am using a telephoto.
