My crude test with the new Canon SX30 IS Ultrazoom camera

[pubwebmaster]

So far as I can see, there's no port for an external microphone. It may be possible to connect something to the AV sockets on the side.

Is there an optional mic jack? Perfect for listening to the crow on the directional antenna using a directional mic.

I just got one of these not too long ago do you know if you can you turn down the noise of it zooming and unzooming?

I hate that for when I want just the sounds of the nature around me no the zzzzzzoom lol?

@Lauzon12 I think that's just the sound of the motor, and is not therefore adjustable.

processor in the camera while recording the flow puts the still image in the video with shutter effect and a little time stops on the image you shooting, that's a feature but not a bug of the memory card writing performance.

:O you can take photos while filming ??

[pubwebmaster]

@Venom3761 Yes, you can. When I did it, I got a freeze in the video, but I think, if one has a fast enough memory card, you can take photos without interrupting the flow. Photos taken when filming are in 16:9 aspect ratio.
