How do you get sound when shooting video/movie?

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.

When shooting 640 x 480 Standard Definition, 1280 x 720 or 1920 x1080 High Definition, sound recording is automatically on. A note on the menu screen will say so. The High Speed movie setting is on, sound is not recorded. Best to download an owners manual and get a more complete answer. The manual is free at www.fujifilm.com/support/digital_cameras/manuals/pdf/index/f/finepix_f500exrseries_manual_01.pdf.

Sound and video should record at the same time. Sound won't be good and there may not be much volume.

I hear a hammering sound when I record video as well...that's a real drag because the video itself looks great. What have people done about this?

No in order for you to get sound you will need to run a red & white audio cable or get a HDMI cable if your video card supports HDMI. The card in my computer supports DVI and HDMI do I get sound out of the TV I use as a monitor 42" Samsung and a 32" Sanyo. The Sanyo is connected by a DVI with an HDMI adpter but no sound. The Samsung is connected with HDMI only and I have sound. Hope this helps.

Go to Audio/sound..Uncheck dolby digital and use normal audio. This WILL solve your problem, but you must do it for every movie you watch. I got a refund for this problem, but got to keep the blue ray. Small price for a good product :))

I can't get audio either. I'm using Windows live call. I'm wondering if I need to change to Skype or if that even has anything to do with it. when I go through the settings on the cam, the sound test is fine, but when I do a video call with my daughter, we have no sound

There should be an Audio plug, it is a seperate cable you need to purchase! If that doesn't work, try an adapter that has an audio/video splitter.

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

Sound has been perfect with my past Video shots..but of course things like this are always controlled by ...distance from sound, noise, and sound of whatever you are recording. But overall it works fine.

yes, you CAN get sound, you just have to turn on the sound.... not sure about the motion detection.

In a word Yes. I only ever shot one video just to see how it worked and the sound seemed weak. Never played on my computer though but did read that others had your same experience as you. Battery saving feature??

Hi Daisy, The audio is low, but one is still able to hear it. Another tip would be to keep your fingers away from the microphone while shooting movies. Blocking the microphone may prevent audio from being recorded or may cause the recording to sound muffled. Avoid touching camera controls other than the movie button when shooting movies because sounds made by the camera will be recorded. Audio recoding is in monaural. It may only be loud enough to hear with one ear. No sound is played for movies in playback speed in certain scenes because audio not recorded in this mode. If still not satisfied with the item, I would recommend contacting your seller directly. Audio Data: Linear PCM (monaural)

It doesn't seem to. I just tried it (it hasn't been used for video yet) and there was no sound on playback. It's possible I'm not seeing a control. Of course the sound was there when I played it on the computer.

Hmm may be more complicated than my answer but go to HOME button, then settings, then sound. Also, your Scene button for sports, vid, etc. changes the sounds, so check that. Hope this helps.

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.

Problem: Yes, the tape drive system produces an undesirable sound. I sent my original back to have it repaired. Sony could not correct this noise problem, but they did report to me that they tried several of the cameras on site and all of them also made the sound. I requested another new camera which they agreed to, but it does the same thing. Fix: I tried using an external mic on a stand, but the quality would pick up too much ambient noise. I recently corrected the problem by purchasing a Rodeo Shotgun Mic with an adapter shoe for the camera mount. I wish I had done this years ago. You don't realize how important good sound pickup is until you use a good quality mic.
