I am trying to get this to work properly with my Canon M mirrorless. Getting a lot of background hissing noise; any ideas?

Turn off auto gain and manually set the gain somewhere near half way or lower so as to not overdrive the sound and introduce the unwanted hiss.

Yes!!! I have this problem as well! It's so upsetting because this is supposed to be a high quality camera. And I don't feel like spending $500 for a second camera. Have you found the solution for this? If you look at my YouTube channel: APurposeDeep, you can see that my first 2 videos were recorded with it and the quality is very poor :(

Thank you very much for your thorough explanation of this issue. I've been struggling with it since purchasing the camera and had been thinking of returning it. I will follow your recommendations re: purchasing the filter & adapter.

Yes. Sounds like a faulty lens. It works at all f stops. Check if there's a ton of dust in the back of the lens, but that's about all you can do. Also make sure that the camera works with other lenses at other f stops, so you're sure it's not the camera.

Call konica minolta customer service--they are good. There is an advance function somewhere--maybe it's on the monitoring software (K). I'm out of the country so I cannot consukt the machine myself. Good luck.

I get it too.... Are you using the adapter for it or did you screw it directly to your camera? I came to the conclusion that using the adapter was the problem. I went to a camera store and tried a fisheye that actually fit my camera without an adapter, took a picture and it didn't have a shadow.

Are you using it in a low light situation? If the camera goes high ISO will likely see a lot of noise.

I have not seen this issue with my camera. I have experimented with all of the various video settings and could not create this. Make sure you have enough lighting.

Haven't had any problems with my unit. Maybe going over the instructions again, making sure you have the correct model for your camera, batteries are good, and making sure cords are fully inserted would help. Also you could look at the reviews to see comments made that may help you.

With adapters, one must be sure the camera is set to "Release without lens". This is found in the settings menu. If that does not work, I have no suggestions.

I've never noticed mine to make any noise at all. When I checked again just now, I put my ear right up to the camera and could barely hear a little hum.

Hi, To be honest I have not had a chance to use it yet. However I will say if your a avid computer user take the time to look up Camerarec Toby in You Tube. He has his own channel and is my and many other go to guy for recommendations. You may also search this site " digital.photorecommendations.com " , this is also Toby's web page. You can ask questions there or even go to his Face Book Page. He will answer any and all questions in a fair amount of time, I have asked him numerous questions just on settings for a certain camera shoot and he responded with articles and video for all my answers. Please I suggest to check him out for your answer.

Well thanks a whole lot. I was having the same problem and was prepared to buy another camera since I have had mine for a few years and read how much it was going to cost to evaluate the problem. I smacked mine as well and it works. Will blow out with a can of air as well.

Yes, I've noticed that mine rattles too. When holding the camera in its normal "landscape" position and moving it forward and back, something inside sounds loose. But, this rattling goes away when the camera is turned ON. As you've observed, the camera seems fully functional. I plan to try to check with Panasonic customer support to see what they say before I return it. Do you have any new info?

I had the same problem with a different camera. It turned out to be a bad USB cable. Try a different cable.

The motorized sounds you are getting are not normal in my experience. I have no sounds from the unit during video and no sounds out of the ordinary during normal everyday use. I would look into a return/swap out for another camera.

What was the solution? I have the same problem with mine (sort of). It beeps, but so faintly that you have to put your ear right up next to the camera body to hear it. I did figure out where it eminates from; I took the lens off and set it to timed shutter release (so that I could here it beeping continuosly, and it comes from inside the camera behind the mirror. Is yours audible now, or just barely faintly beeping?
