Hi!
I wonder if someone could tell me how to fix a problem I have whenever I hook a mic up my camera. The cam is a Sony DCR-TRV 520. My problem is this: the camera tries to automaticaly adjust the volume. So, when a subject is speaking, it sounds fine, but as soon as he/she stops, or even pauses, the camera automaticaly adjusts the volume to be louder. In fact, it makes is so loud that, when nobody is saying anything, there is this terrible hissing noise. Could someone tell me what to sellect so that the cam doesn't automaticaly adjust?
Thanks heeps in advance!

Look through the manual and see if you have a manual audio level setting: a lot of cheaper cameras don't, in which case you're probably stuck with it.
Please don't take it offensively, or whatever, but isn't that one of those "Consumer" camcorders with the little flip-out screen? A friend of mine has one. It's the kind with the built in mike, whose line can't be changed, I do believe.
It has hunter-peck auto-focus, and the mike picks up about as much sound as Bill Gates does cans.
I don't even think they sell tripods for those...
If you're serious, ditch that thing and get a DSR-150. They run about $4,000, and I don't think they do that nice, layman "megapixel" junk.
