How is the camera with handling loud noise? I like going to a lot of car events which can produce some loud noise and was just wondering how that would sound with the camcorder. I can always get an external mic too I assume.

@erasertech16 16 дней назад
I haven't tested it with very loud noises but you can always use an external mic. There is even a headphone jack for monitoring.

I JUST DID ALL THIS BUT I HAVE A PROBLEM. The mp4 file is "... could not e opened. The file isn't compatible with QuickTime Player." If it's an mp4, it should be. I used all the same settings you did 480p30, etc. ADVICE?
@helenfromsun2009

Is it that the disc wasn't "Finalized"? This could be a deal breaker as I'm not sure I even have the camcorder any more. Back in the days I was using it, I finalized some but not all. If I cannot find the camcorder in a drawer or box somewhere, is there a workaround? Thanks!
@erasertech16
@erasertech16 21 день назад
Did you try opening the mp4 file with a different program? Try downloading and using VLC instead of Quicktime. If VLC can't open it then it must be an issue with the file itself.

@@erasertech16 Hi there. I did something else, which was to try one of my mini-DVDs that I marked "F" for finalized. And bingo, it worked! So now I will look for that old camcorder. It was a nice technology and better in many ways than iPhone. But time marches on. If I can't get my hands on a camcorder I will try your suggestion. THANKS!

does it have manual focus mode?
@erasertech16

It does have manual focus but it's not easy to use. The camcorder does not have a physical button or slider to adjust the focus manually so you have to do it using the digital screen. Not easy but also not impossible.

What is the best audio settings do you believe? 5.1 channel or 2 ch, and recommended volume levels? I find it has a noticeable hiss sound with the internal mic which is common with camcorders but even this one. Any suggestion on how to counter this slightly but still give out a nice clear audio??
@erasertech16
@erasertech16 Месяц назад
I think the best option to avoid internal hiss is to use an external mic. There are lots of good options nowadays and this camcorder has a mic input.

Would a camcorder be better to film closer up things like electronics? The autofocus on mirrorless camera and my iphone 15 pm struggle to keep focus and someone suggested maybe getting a camcorder?
@erasertech16

Yeah this camcorder has a great focus on short focal lengths. However only when the camera is not zoomed. So you have to get close to the subject. Maybe I'll make a video showing that.

14 year old Greek technician here. So, you mentioned your Asus DVD drive doesn't recognize the Mini DVD'S? The model of the DVD drive that your Asus has, is the same model my laptop DVD drive is, and it reads it perfectly fine. Maybe the dvd drive tried to seek for a file that was out of range and the laser just..lost focus. That maybe be a seek error. I personally use a program that will automatically calibrate the speed and scanning patterns for your DVD drive. I hope I helped! 😊 P.S I'm still 14 correct me if I made a mistake. Also I'll make a video about my DVD drive.
@erasertech16

Hi friend, congratulations on the video. Can you tell me if it records in MP4, and if with good lighting I can make videos at night? And as for the battery, it lasts a long time and most importantly: Does it have a microphone input?
@erasertech16
@erasertech16 2 месяца назад
It does record directly on MP4 but only on the lower resolution settings. The battery I got lasts approximately 2 hours of use. It's a third party battery though and you can buy other ones with better capacity. Yes, it does have a microphone input and headphone jack for monitoring. Unfortunately the low light quality is not that great.

Camcorder video out to Mac computer. Computer not recognizing it, neither is iMovie or QuickTime. Is there a setting on the camera or somewhere in the menu to "export video"? I can't find anything. Thanks for any information -- nice video!
@erasertech16

The camera should export video with the RCA cables automatically. It depends on what kind of system/capture device you are using to connect the camcorder to the computer.

@erasertech16
@erasertech16 2 месяца назад
Also, if you are using a video out cable that has a 3.5mm connection in the camcorder side, try switching around the yellow/white/red connections in the computer side to see if you get video. Sometimes those cables are proprietary and have different connections.
