An image capture system and methods for auto-recording media data are herein disclosed. A method includes selecting an activity-specific monitor based on an activity type. The activity-specific monitor defines one or more auto-recording conditions that, when satisfied, cause the image capture system to record data. The auto-recording conditions are based on an audio profile, a video profile, a motion profile, or any combination thereof. The auto-recording conditions include one or more scene descriptions that correspond to the activity type.
