Is there a way to turn off the voice that keeps repeating every two minutes that this camera is recording? I cannot find the option in the menu.

I think they changed the cam somewhere in production. The one I received does not do that. It does say something when turned on and off, but thats it. When in playback mode, I turned the volume all the way down and it changed that voice too so now there's no voices.

I am not sure about the voice you are talking about. The units I have don't have the voice every two minutes. It only say "start recording" when turn on and "stop recording" when turn off. Can you try reseting it?

I turned off the motion activated setting (I think it's delivered with that setting on) and then set it to record at the maxium 15 min segment. It'll still talk every once and a while, but not nearly as often. After I set it up this way it basically just records continuously ( but it does say 'recording' if a new 15 min segment starts. As far as I can tell there isn't a way to simply turn off that annoying pointless voice that you can't even understand anyway. Hope that helps.

I've only had mine about two weeks, but I have not heard a voice even once. My only annoyance is that it automatically turns itself off at random times and the battery life is only a few minutes.

Btw... On mine the menu option to turn audio on/off didn't get rid of the voice. I assumed it turned of the mic for recording audio. Maybe mines gotta bug... I donno. Or maybe I'm just an idiot ;)

there is not an option to silence the voice, I put tape over the speaker to make it less disruptive.

I don't think you can turn off the voice. I only hear it when it starts recording. Twice, on and start. Then once when it stops. If you hear it every two minutes than something is wrong. Mine does not do that. Turn off motion sensor. Record at 740 not 1080. Good luck

Yes, there is a button on the lower right corner of the camera. It announces when the audio record is off once you push it

On the Samsung tv go to menu then preferences / accessibility and disable DV this turns off the annoying narrator

The best way to kill this kind of background noise is via software. Most good sound editing software has a noise filter/reduction tool. What you do is allow about 30 seconds of silence before you actually use the mic and start your recording. In editing grab that 30 seconds of silence and use it as the "Noise Print" for noise reduction. What this does is the reduction software will work through youyr recording looking for the noise you gave it and remove it. If the background noise is from a steady source, like a fan this will pull the noise right out.

There is no on-off button. You have to plug and unplug, or turn off through device. Device should control recording.

no...once you stop the video, that video is over. You will start a new video when you begin to record again. Also, don't talk while taking the video, unless you want YOUR voice to be heard.

I've had the same problem with my ultra plus since day one. It was a gift and I didn't pursue taking it back to the original retailer. I've discovered that by holding the pause/record button in for a second or two it works better, but even this doesn't work every time. At times I have to turn the camera off while recording in order to stop recording. Really aggravating. Wish I could be of more help but it appears to be a widespread problem with this video camera. Otherwise I'd recommend this neat little camera to anybody. Since it seems to be a widespread problem I'd suggest folks buy a different camera. Should you discover a solution to this problem I do hope you'll post. I've had the same problem with my ultra plus since day one.

I don't know where you found this information, we have this camera and it is not the case. Recorded up to 3 hours non stop without any problems.

i hear this "beeping" as i describe it, as well, and have found others on youtube that experience this as well with this camera, it is quite annoying, although its not nearly as loud as you make it seem.. most people dont notice it even, but once you do it is quite annoying... i wondered if i got a defective unit but after finding many others that also have this it seems to be just how the camera is , i still have 20 some days to return it and i probably will because of this, oh well.

The previous answers are correct. Recording over or simply being silent in the record mode will edit out what you no longer want on the tape. Hope this helps.

There is a small built-in microphone at the bottom side of the camera. Also check to be sure that sound is enabled on the menu screen before recording.

It is a beautiful microphone and I recommend it (hear the results on the "swingyoucats" channel on YouTube) -- when you plug the cable from the microphone into the camera's input, it shuts off the camera's own microphone. Easy, no thought needed!

I'm not sure about that. I couldn't find a setting for that, just make sure the "Loop Recording" is not set to "Off". Other than that I don't know what the issue might be, sorry.

Yes, press the speaker on the bottom right of your desktop (right click) select recording devices then right click the device and select disable. On the cam there is not mute button that I know of. Hope this helps

sorry, can't help you, it was a gift for someone, I didn't open the box. I think there was something on the box about overriding recording though

Yes it has a pause button during playback. During recording, it does not. You would just hit the record button again and it would stop recording.
