Will this stop the focus sound when recording with the Nikon D5200?

Yes it will stop the auto focus motor sound from being recorded. The high pass filter also does a grret job of cutting wind noises.

Yikes, mine is not that loud. If your cameras don't immediately work, then press the little black button on the back of the camera 5 or 6 times fairly rapidly and that should solve that. I can hear mine running but it is not overly loud.

Only if the IR filter on the camera is not active. When the camera IR is on the filter is not active. You can hear the click as it moves out the way.

no but during you're recording sessions it will cancel out background noise to the point where only your voice is heard

Yes, it does. I've contacted Sigma customer support regarding this issues and they assured that it's a "by-design" behavior and there is nothing to worry about. It's the OS lens elements causing the rattle noise. You can see that the noise stops when you engage OS (by half pressing shutter release). I also checked out a few other similar lenses at a local camera store and they all had the same noise. Mine is for Nikon though.

Silent shutter just mutes the fake shutter sound on a point & shoot camera. As this is an SLR, there are real moving parts in there so the sound can't be prevented.

It appears to do this with my Canon Camcorder connected to a microphone mixer with the adapter. It is not true stereo sound.

This lens is terrible for video, as when the camera autofocuses it makes a noticeable clicking sound. So unless you want to always attach an external mic to your DSLR, skip this lens for video purposes if you want to preserve the audio.

P.S. I forgot, I think it will allow pausing while recording.... but have not tried it myself.

If your camcorder has audio settings, most pro cameras do, change the audio levels from automatic to manual and lower it until the white noise (the "sssshhhh'ing") goes away. Inside the unit's battery bay are DIP switches you can use to lower the DB to help that if you camera doesn't have audio settings.

Does the lens make a noise when it auto focuses or zooms? I make YouTube videos and if my camera zooms in the middle of me talking in a video that would just be distracting and awkward. :/

Built in microphone is realy sensitive. I have to use this camera only in manual mode setting sound attenuation on (not available in auto mode). Otherwise you will hear the camera's motor noise

To the best of my knowledge all non-STM motors result in lens noise while recording. The other review sounds like they were confusing the full time manual (FTM) focus feature of most USM lenses as somehow creating more noise than non-FTM lenses, not true. STM lenses are specifically engineered to have a slower more controlled AF while recording video, thus producing less noise than all other Canon lenses.

For mine, it does make a noisy sound but it is not too loud while it does the auto focus. I really like this lens though. very sharp!

For my camera, D5100, I dont think it is possible to start recording with the remote. However to answer you other question, if camera is set on auto focus then yes it will focus on subject while recording.

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

Yes. The camera software includes a "wind cut" setting which can be activated through the touchscreen menu. The owner's manual indicates some low frequency sound may also be removed.
