[videoblogging] question about audio and internal mics on cameras
Question for y'all - I have a Xacti HD-1A, and I'm noticing that once in awhile I record something that looks good on video, but the audio part is way too loud for the internal mic to handle... so everything sounds pretty distorted. As far as I can tell, there's no audio control unless I use an external mic. Is there anything I can do about that? Other than getting some type of external mic? Thanks! -- David King davidleeking.com - blog http://davidleeking.com/etc - videoblog [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

As far as I can tell, there's no audio control unless I use an external mic. Is there anything I can do about that? Other than getting some type of external mic? Another option is to use a totally seperate digital recorder to record the sound .. and then use that file to replace the built in mics sound in the editing program. Sounds a lot harder than it actually is. Richard Amirault Boston, MA, USA http://n1jdu.org http://bostonfandom.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7hf9u2ZdlQ
