C-100 clip “seams” question
I should have asked this a long time ago, but on long recordings I’m aware that the C-100 has to break them up into individual 12(?)-minute-long clips. I consistently get about a two or three-frame gap between the end of one clip and the start of the next. I got hosed several times on my latest recording with parts of words missing.
Is there some setting or some firmware file I should know about to remedy this?

My 5D splits files at 4GB size, but I’ve never had an audio issue. I don’t think the setting can be changed so you might be best off getting an external audio recorder. I use the Zoom H1N and it’s very good value for money.
There’s a long conversation about this on the canon forums: https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Camcorders/Split-files/td-p/251458/page/4
