You need to buy one of the new lenses from Samsung that fixes this OR use a separate microphone attachment. Samsung NX 16-50mm f/2.0-2.8 S Series Zoom Camera Lens with OIS and UPSM will do this for you, but at a cost.

During playback, yes It's a soft botton on the screen. During recording, you simply yse the stop/start recording

My sister and I both had this camera and we had the same problem. I think that once you start having issues with this camera there is no going back. I would just upgrade. We never figured out why the glitch occurred.

It's normal for cameras with motorized zooms, but the HS30EXR doesn't have one of those. I don't shoot a lot of video with this camera, but as it happens I did last Saturday and got surprisingly good sound. Of course since it happend to be a video of a B-17G revving up it's engines, the sounds were definitely motorized. :)

it's because the zoom on the video mode fails on this camera after awhile,at least it did on mine.i took prolly 10 videos at concerts and noticed i was able to zoom while recording.then all of the sudden it didn't work anymore.u have to zoom in to where u want it now and can't adjust the zoom once u push record.

Yes we have this too...plus a ticking noise! My husband just noticed it, and was like what the heck? You can actually hear it on the video while playing back if we are recording in absolute silence. When he shuts off the auto focus the ticking noise stops. I would be interested in others with this camcorder to comment on the noise.....I mean is this a defect or something that is just the way the camcorder is?

The XD 1080 has all the bells and whistles and the picture is amazing. I have it mounted externally on my race car roll bar and when I get home and watch it on a big screen TV it is like I am back in the car. I still have not gotten the sound to where I'd like it despite using an optional external microphone but am working on it. Make sure you get the correct mount for your installation and model camera. There are many and if you're not sure call Replay. They will help you choose.

Yes it does have sound and when i play back a video, the sound isn't very loud. On the back of the camera, there is little icons on the right side of the screen. The first one is a garbage can, where you can delete pictures. Press the second button below the garbage can and a screen will come up with Date & Time. Scroll down to the bottom and it will say " Camera Sounds " Press OK and then you can set your camera for whatever volume you want. I hope this helps you out.

Thanks for the info Corey! I agree that zooming during recording can get a bit nauseating if done too much/too fast but it is a nice feature to have in certain instances. At least the zoom works before/after like it does on my old 3.2MP Cyber-shot. Thanks for clearing that up.

yes, I guess the only thing is that mine is malfunctioning when downloading from memory to the computer, it does it but there is no sound from videos, only if tplayed in the device itself but not when I downloaded into my comp. sometimes the focus is flurry for 2 seconds and then goes back to being ok.

When i download my movies from this camera to my Mac, there is a disconnect between the video and the sounds. It's like a delay. Very annoying as i use it mostly for short clips of concerts. Also, there is a long delay between when i push the button for a photo and when it actually takes it (the photo). Are there fixes for for this? Operator error or is this the camera? Really thinking about selling it. But then what? I researched this for a long time and am disappointed.

Thank you for your question. There is only audio from the camera you have highlighted in the split screen feature on the Multi View Digital monitor system.

We had the same issue, and I'm pretty sure we didn't have it on VOX. We never keep it on VOX. From what I remember, we turned off and unplugged everything and re-paired the camera(s) to reset it. We may have had to do that a couple times (I don't remember exactly), but it did eventually stop. I think we even had 2 cameras at the time, and it only blinked out on one of them?

That is not correct. You were probably in manual focus, or someone setup some strange focus points. I use this camara for filming hunting, and the focus must change constantly and have never had the issue you decribe. BTW love this camera. Great quality, but cheap enough that I dont feel I need to baby it every minute.

In exploring my camera there is a setting to turn off the sounds of the camera. I don't know if that is what you are hearing but that is a start. I LOVE this camera. I have several family members, including a professional, who looked this camera over and were plesantly surprised by all the advanced features and some features that they wished they had on their high end Nikon's and Canon cameras. It's been a joy for me and I love it. I hope you figure out your problem ...

I returned one of these camera because of a similar problem. I noticed a white flickering dot during playback. I observed while filming and the dot was present on the LCD screen. I got a second one and the dot wasnt there at first. It came back on the second camera but in a different place. I'm baffled and wish i could find more info on this issue. If anyone has more info on this, let me know!

Anthony: I used to have a JVC Everio, the first model out some years back. I loved the size of the thing, and it took great still pics. The only thing I didn't like was the .MOD file extensions for the videos. It was, quite frankly, a pain in the butt trying to deal with the vids. I ended up selling it. I don't know if they corrected that .MOD nonsense, but somehow I don't believe so. Go with the SONY (my opinion). Congrats on the baby :-) Mike
