So when I connect the H6 to my Canon mark 3, it automatically sinks the audio ? Theres no work to be done in shop ?

It will not automatically sync the audio, however it shouln't be hard to sync in your editing software if you use slates or claps between shooting.

I recommend a Fiio E6 amplifier between any microphone and camera, where the mic does not have a boost function. Without this, the sound may be poor and you may be tempted to blame the mic when the problem is actually in the camera.

http://dmc.wisc.edu/media/manuals/efl/canon_hg10.pdfThere are also a few tweaks you need to do to get decent video...someone wrote an article about it...google is your friend. The main thing is turning off the A.SL Shutter (Automatic Slow Shutter) feature in the menu.

I believe that has to do with the H2's recording mode. By default it is set to 44.1 kHz/16 bit, but the standard for audio used in video editing is 48 kHz. This could account for the syncing issues mentioned. Of course it could also depend on the editing software's capture process and clip length; I ran into a similar problem when editing a 45-minute clip, where the audio seemed to gradually drift out of sync from the video, though both were captured on one camcorder, and I had to remove like 3 frames on the video track to get it back together.

Dear Karen:Thank you for your reply. I have also contacted Canon. They were going to send me to the nearest service center, until I told them about your feedback with the same problem. Thanks for your help. I have received my refurbished replacement. I hope this one will stay function. Jeannette

well put it into a different focus mode like one focus instead of continuous or just do manual focus. there should be no other motor sound i love my hs30exr have had it for almost 2 years.

Just fixed mine. Thanks for the tip. My question is, has any been able to let Canon know about this? They should have it in the manual. You can search for 6C10 and it is not listed. I'm going to try to call them to complain.

YES! I returned my first one because Canon said this was not normal - but now I'm having problems with the second. Are they lying? Also, does anyone think it's the actual connection of the batteries in the compartment? Should I return this or just accept this is how the product works? I'm so frustrated!

Hi MRK. Thanks for your update!As I said, I checked that it was not on mute and still nothing. I actually tried what you said yesterday, but just in case I tried it again today and still no playback sound, no shutter sound... Nothing. I can see the volume bars go up and down but I still hear (guess!): Nothing.This is not my first PowerShot. I truly love them and, even though the playback sound is not perfect, is still does give an idea of how things are going.Oh well, already contacted Amazon for an exchange.Nice to hear your luck was different! Enjoy!

I truly don't know, that's a shame. Have you tried tricking it by turning it on WITH the lens cover still on, like it's saying, and then removing it to see if the message goes away? Then see if it functions normally after that. Other than that, I have no ideas or suggestions, sorry. I haven't had this problem. I'm sure a local camera shop could help you troubleshoot, possibly even for free if it doesn't require a repair. :)

Hi there -- this may be irrelevant, but they're asking me to communicate. I never used Canon, bought this slave to enable me to use auxiliary flash with a Fuji 3D camera. The idea is this: Most today's hi-tech flashes emit a series of light impulses to pre-evaluate the scene, the pop responsible for actual exposure (when the shutter opens) being the last one. To use an external slave flash you need either turn off all camera's pre-flashes (switch it to 'dumb' mode -- impossible with my Fuji) or use a slave that will ignore pre-flashes, such as this unit. That's why I bought it and it works for me. Try to read the manual for your Canon and see what your options are. It always helps to have a clear understanding what goes on. Cheers! M.B.

There is no direct connection to you camera..... It's used as a "slave" Just plug it in to electrical power and any flash will set it off..... ie a studio light or your on camera flash.Keep in mind if you have what is called TTL flash or "through the lens" this light will mess up the flash exposure.Depending on your expertise in photography.... for now, don't worry about the TTL stuff.... just plug it in and fire a flash and see how nice it works.....I'll answer any follow-up questions if needed

This is Star's husband. I use a Zoom H4N and change the settings to dual channel. You have to change the audio when your editing it to dual. I had the same problem. I don't know of any way to change the settings on the unit.

Thanks for the reply. I understand it may be us, not the camera, although I've never had this problem with any other camera. May have to play with the white balance to correct the problem, at least that's what Panasonic told me. Two camera stores couldn't figure it out. Shouldn't be so complicated!

Yes it's supposed to be mono. If you don't hear audio in both sides of your head phones then the cable other headset has issues. It would be helpful to know what you are sending the receiver audio to. Zoom h4n, dslr, a recording device?

Your camera has a 3.5mm diameter external microphone input. I suspect that is a line-level input. Check the specs. The PG14/PG185 has both 1/4" and XLR outputs, so you have choice of line level or mic level outputs. With a 1/4" or XLR to 3.5 adaptor, it is possible to easily connect the two devices. The mic works well outdoors. Background/wind noise tolerable. That's what I know. Others may have used this combo, and I hope they are here to give you a more definitive answer. Final resort, call Canon and Shure.

Try reinstalling the software. Mine acts that way sometimes. I know the camera price is low end of this type of camera, and I didn't expect a superior audio hardware. Given the fluctuation of the audio quality, I assumed the buzzing issue has more to do with either the camera software or the internet connection or both, more so than the hardware itself (other wise why I get better audio than buzzing sometimes?)
