Does the video mode record sound?

haven't used it yet, but my other Canons (also power shots little different model) do record sound on the video. We'll try it tomorrow and let you know! It should if consistent with all other power shots I've used.

Yes, it does record sound. However, if the camera happens to refocus during recording, you can hear the lens refocusing on the video playback.

No, you can, however record sound from a distance & lay it over the video in editing

Nope. The recording is dependont on the computer. The device only supplys the decripted video.

There is sound while videoing but it is very faint. Cannot have background sound.

I don't shoot video with the camera. Only sounds I've encountered are a beep when auto focusing and click when you take a picture.

The sound records on the videos OK and I can hear it when I upload them to my computer. But the camera itself makes no sounds whatsoever -- no video playback sound, no shutter sound, etc., despite what the camera settings are. It's almost as if its own speaker is not connected / broken.

Mine does not, in either car mode or sport mode. It doesn't record over old footage. In a video review by www.techmoan.com, I believe he said his did. I just live with it. Don't use it for much other than the motorcycle.

The default recording mode (and display for the screen) is wide screen, which is a 16:9 aspect ratio. In short, yes it does both record and display in wide screen mode.

I don't know for sure, as I never tested for audio.... but I strongly suspect that it's video only.

I have not used that feature except to test the video. I do not know if it can record sound. I don't recognize a microphone anywhere. I am not sure it can connect live with the internet, either. If you seek that, you might want to contract Olympus about that. Sorry I could not be of more help. I have not looked into the manual in a big way. I just take pictures and its wonderful for that.

It has to be in playback mode. Mind you this camera is really horrible quality. I don't usually bash things I buy but this thing was crap. Even my niece who doesnt know much about this stuff thought it was horrible. FYI

I'm just curious if you've tried recording something on the video setting and playing it back on your computer to see if the sound comes out. The "speaker" or playback on the cameras are piss poor, not that they should be anything great, but it might be possible that you can't hear it on the camera but the sound pics up on video and you can hear it on playback. Hope that made some sense. I hope it works out for you.

Yes, it does have audio. When it is in the waterproof case, it is not as responsive, but it does have audio recording when making video recordings.

It's recording mode. It used motion or sound for activation. Note this does not record sound, only senses it to activate. Never used this part though.

Yes, it records sound, and the audio quality is excellent. Note that the on-board speaker is pretty small so when you play back a recorded video on the camera itself the sound is small and tinny, but when you upload the video (e.g., to youtube, etc.) the sound is great.

Yes, it does record sound. And it comes with one pair of component cables, both male that go to the capture card and TV. NOT the xbox360, if you don't have the Component HDMI cables you'll have to order them.

It records 1080P HD video with sound. It has sound level settings for recording or you can turn the volume off. It also has adjustments for playback volume very similar to a smart phone... Hope this helps
