  Audio drift?

  Posted by Max Frank on May 5, 2010 at 9:01 am

  Hi,

  In my post below the topic of audio drift came up and I’d appreciate
  some clarification.

  If I’m shooting on a D550/T2i at say, 29.97 – and I’m recording audio
  to a Zoom H4n recording at the same fps would there still be sync drift?

  Especially considering there is a 12 min maximum clip time.

  Any input would be appreciated.

  Thanks,

  Wayne

  Could be- neither uses SMPTE accurate timecode. That’s what you get with the higher priced pro audio gear…
