When recording a motion picture, the digital camera or lens sounds or other operating noise may be recorded. If the sound from the lens is particularly bothering, set the camera to manual focus during use. If the operating noise is particularly bothering, position the microphone away from the digital camera during use.

If the terminals are dirty they can cause faulty connections. Wipe clean with a soft dry cloth before connecting.
