Limited SRAM when using Arucam Mega and Arduino UNO

  1. Where did you get the camera module(s)?
    DigiKey

  2. Model number of the product(s)?
    ARDUCAM MEGA 3MP SPI

  3. What hardware/platform were you working on?
    Arduino UNO

  4. Instructions you have followed. (link/manual/etc.)
    Getting Started with Arducam Mega

  5. Problems you were having?
    limited SRAM on Arduino UNO

  6. The dmesg log from your hardware?

  7. Troubleshooting attempts you’ve made?

  8. What help do you need?
    When compiling the example “capture2SD” in the examples directory of the Arducam_Mega library, in the Arduino IDE 2.1.1, the output indicates that the application uses 78% (=1613 bytes) of the dynamic memory. Leaving only 22% of SRAM will cause problems in most applications using Arduino UNO, Arducam Mega and SD card. Librarys SD.h and Arducam_Mega.h use most of the SRAM. Is there a way to significantly reduce SRAM usage in these libraries or can Arducam_Mega not really be used with Arduino UNO and SD card?
