 Yeah, let's try and get rid of that autofocus noise. Hey, what's up YouTube? As you just saw, I've got a really noisy autofocus on my lens that came on with my Canon 200D. It's the default lens and Canon, when it first came out with DSLRs, video recording wasn't a huge aspect of the cameras. Hence why the autofocus noises were using a really old technology, making that noise as you just saw. Now, I'm going to be showing you two different possibilities on how to get rid of that noise. One of them going to be the ultimate solution. The other one is recommended options from other users online, which I've also tried and it didn't go that well. So let's get straight into it. Now, the first option that I've read online is to use an external microphone and that should cover the autofocus noise. Now, I have this Rode Video Micro external mic, which I'm going to plug in with the 3.5mm jack. And I'm just going to give you an example of what that would sound like with this lens that makes the autofocus noise. Okay, I've got the external mic added on top of my camera. Now let's try an autofocus and see how that noise is now. As you can see or hear, you can still hear the noise of the autofocus. It's not that great. It's reduced just a tiny bit less, maybe because my lens is really noisy. I don't have the wired microphone that goes from the camera all the way along the floor and the ones that clip onto your shirt. That will probably get rid of the noise because of the distance of the lens to the mic. However, this microphone sits on top of the camera, which is right next to the lens as well, which is making the autofocus noise. So it's not exactly the greatest option. Now, the second way on how to get rid of the autofocus noise completely when shooting your videos. And it's really useful if you're starting up YouTube channels like myself and you just experienced this for the first time, specifically with the Canon cameras. Now, you need to purchase a second lens. Now, I have this lens here. This is called an STM lens. Now, STM stands for stepper motor. It's the technology that Canon uses to produce near silent autofocus. If you go on Amazon and type in STM lens, you'll come up with a variety of ranges of different types of lenses with different apertures, different zoom levels and so on. So I do recommend you check this out. But what I'm going to do is I'm going to switch my current default lens to this STM lens. And I also have a link in the description below where you can purchase this exact same one. And then you can see the difference with the autofocus. Okay guys, so I've swapped my lens with the STM lens. Now, let's have a check with the autofocus and see if you can hear any of the noises. See how quickly autofocus is? I can't hear any noise of myself sitting in this quiet room. You can probably not hear anything when you're watching a video. Like I said, it's a new technology that Canon has come out with. They call it near silent, but as much as you can try, you won't hear any autofocus noise. It's the perfect solution. It doesn't really come by default on a lot of the Canon DSLRs. But I do recommend you check it out if you're starting up YouTube videos and exploring autofocusing, doing reviews and so on. It's really useful, especially when you want to move things closer to the screen and away from the screen quite often. I do recommend this lens. But let me know what you guys think. Hope you liked that solution. It's pretty straightforward. They do come in various different prices as well. As you probably wear lenses are not that cheap. This one is just a little bit over £100 or about $130. But I'll leave a link in the description below. If you have any questions or any other comments in general, then please do ask me below. Otherwise, give it a like and I will catch you guys at the next video.
