I'd love to see if you can help me solve something. I'm a middle school film teacher who is lucky enough to have two of these cameras. However, whenever I try to hook up a rode mic with a 3.5 mm cable, the sound that is collected is full of static and barely audible. I have tried using a brand new (condensed and powered) Rode mic on both of them, and 3 years ago tried a different type of Rode mic with them. I am choosing mic in the functions, powering the mic on, and this should be simple. Any clue as to what I am doing wrong? The input switch is off. I posted to the Canon forum yesterday
@@NathanGibbs I did that before posting. It should be as easy as turning the input switch to off and hooking up the mic. But still, it is staticy and barely audible. Thanks for your time.
we’re you able to find a solution? I am currently going through the same thing. When I play it back on the camera it’s fine, and so as playing back through QuickTime Player, but as soon as I put it on an editing software you start hearing the white-noise that you mentioned.
I haven't tried this configuration, but I can't think of a good reason you'd get white noise except that something isn't configured correctly. I assume you're using the 1/8" plug and not XLR? Double check you've enabled the MIC Teminal in settings: support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART169140
