My camera is noisy and on powering up. Is this normal?

It is a fairly noisy camera in terms of shutter and mirror operation. Shooting in live view will not relieve the situation, as the mirror recycles to the up position after each shot.

Yes, same result here. Really unhappy as the noise was unacceptable when used with my Cannon Rebel T2i

This is not normal. I've had no problems or complaints with this incredible camera. Return it. But get another one.

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

I never had that problem. You might want to check the battery, or settings on your camera.

No I would say that is not normal at all. It does have a lot of plastic parts but overall this is a nice camera. I think you should return it and get a replacement or money back.

Would not go so far as to say it is normal, only that it has been experienced before :) and at least in my case has not apparently affected operation of the camera. However, for all I know this could have something to do with the fact that this camera has trouble staying in focus taking video sometimes. I'll never know - it's out of warranty now and there are still more pros than cons versus the alternatives available at the time so I'd have kept it anyway. :)

Yes, i am using the multi out for power. I have noticed with this camera a vertical line that moves left to right. I thought maybe the power source, but tried a different one at 1 ampand still there. Doesn't affect picture quality tho. Maybe someone else has a fix for the vertical line?

Hi there Angela I recently bought this camera after doing a lot of research. One of the only things that people would sometimes say was bad about the camera was that under certain conditions, the pictures came out in a condition like the one you described. There are a few things that you can do to help get rid of this "noise": 1. Choose a lower ISO setting. This setting changes the sensitivity to the light. You cannot change this value in the "Simple" mode, but in PASM and scene you can. The lower the ISO level, the more likely you might need to use flash, so open the flash and turn it to Auto (the default setting) when you use a lower ISO in poor to moderate lighting. 2. Change the internal Noise Reduction to High. You can access this setting in the PASM or Scene modes only as well. Changing this may make the picture a little less detailed, but probably only noticeable in something bigger than a 4 x 6. Access this setting by hitting the "Set" button, and then go down the menu to the third page, to a setting called Pict. Adj. and hit the right arrow. Noise reduction is the last choice. 3. If at all possible, take photos in good lighting. This will limit the use for internal brightening and adjusting, which will keep the natural colors and less noise in the picture. Hope this helps!

That is noise from the Canon M. I have the same problem. It sounds a lot better on records with less internal noise.

Mine is connected to my camera and 12 volt battery and all of the power and ac/dc cables are plugged in but it won't work.

The sound records on the videos OK and I can hear it when I upload them to my computer. But the camera itself makes no sounds whatsoever -- no video playback sound, no shutter sound, etc., despite what the camera settings are. It's almost as if its own speaker is not connected / broken.

yes it is, I also have another camera (different brand) that does the same thing. I guess the microphone is sensitive to the power zoom.

If you have it attached to a power switch inside the house just turn it off. The unit will revert to giving a warning when turned back on and begin taking photos or clips again.

There is a setting for that. I no longer use that camera, but I remember that you can disable that. Check in all settings, maybe some setting about clock.

at the default settings of both the camera(t3i) and the Rode VideoMic. i have no hissing noise when its uploaded onto a Computer. when playing back on the Camera it self i do notice such noise. but in the final product. all is well

Same thing happened to me. The camera needs to be active, not just on. For example I have a nikon d3100 and the display/ view screen needs to be on. It has something to do with providing power to the card.
