HVX high audio self noise
Has anyone else experienced very high audio noise when using the HVX? I’m a sound recordist, so I’m not that familiar all of the menu settings in the camera, but I set up the camera with the switches on the side and calibrate it with tone. The problem seems to be isolated with HVX, no other cameras, or recorders give me this problem. Any ideas? Also, is there anyway to monitor audio without latency?

Mic/Line switches are in the font.

I’m not that thick. I’ve set everything on the camera correctly, but still noise.

Do you mean it’s loud or there’s other added noise?

It’s like tape hiss, and it’s a very loud hiss at that. It’s from one of a pair of cameras that my clients have been using.

Only on this one camera- is it possible to be cables, mic or mixer instead? Can you shoot double system instead?

I’m not familiar with the 200. We have an HPX500. On the 500 there’s a monitor/alarm control (on the viewfinder side) that, if set too high, adds a lot of noise in the headphone monitoring output. It’s not recorded. You can adjust that control so the sound person gets a clean monitor output.

I did experience this on the HVX200 once. Very low level but a high-pitched noise recorded. We proceeded hoping it was low enough to not be a problem. Research found that it was a phenomenon in this model and will only showed up when recording on slot #1. Fix was to have Panasonic do a firmware update.
