I have a single audio cable running from our sound boards tape out, directly into the camera. the audio is fine, no distortion or hum or anything. When i connect the a/v cable to a tv, with a male to male a/v cable (connected to TV) connected to a coupler to male a/v to male 1/8" (connected to camcorder) i have a hum in the recording, which doesn't make sense to me, considering it is sending the signal to TV, not from TV to camcorder. the hum is only there when i connect the cable from the camcorder a/v out to the coupler which connects to the a/v cable into the TV...any reason why?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/problem-with-hf-200-not-keeping-sequence-when-card-removed#post-62201 Tue, 21 Sep 2010 15:11:51 +0000 Autorestomod 62201@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>OK here is what happens, I have a shoot list that I keep when we do our How To videos. I record the number of the "keeper" sequence on our shoot list. When we are through shooting I take the SD card to the computer and download the files to the hard drive. Then I find that the numbers on the shoot list are off. sometimes by as little as one number, other times the numbers have been completely different.</p> <p>Any ideas why this is happening. It is making it really hard to stay organized.</p> <p>Autorestomod</p> <p>Jeff</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/want-to-run-two-lavalier-mics-on-one-canon-hf200#post-61192 Sun, 01 Aug 2010 13:15:24 +0000 Autorestomod 61192@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>I realize that this topic is probably super obvious and answered elsewhere but I'm selfish and needy </p> <p>=-).</p> <p>We run (right now) a single HF 200 and have been using a shotgun mic in our how-to videos. The problem we run into is that the shotgun is great for stand ups, awful when we are looking away from the camera (we shoot how-to videos on car restoration and are thus in places that a boom is impractical. A lavalier/lapel mic seems to be the next best solution.</p> <p>With the background out of the way, how would I easily and CHEAPLY (we have yet to show a profit in our venture and money is as tight as a pair of pants on Britney Spears) get two lavaliers to work on our one HF200 (we often have two people working and are often off site with limited help: see Britney Spears above)?</p> <p> </p> <p>Jeff Ford</p> <p>Autorestomod</p> <p><a href="http://www.autorestomod.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.autorestomod.com</a></p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/canon-hf200-hdmi-to-sony-tv#post-53500 Sun, 27 Dec 2009 15:14:54 +0000 hersman 53500@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Any experience with connecting Canon HF200 to Sony TV by HDMI?  I am getting "no signal."

The Tiffen Soft F/X 3 is suggested on some websites. Is this is a good one to use? I want something that takes away the over-sharp video look, but is not too over-the-top.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/hf200-external-microphone-query#post-54079 Fri, 15 Jan 2010 02:57:54 +0000 anindya49 54079@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi, I recently got a Canon HF200. I am now looking<br /> for an external microphone (one<br /> that plugs into the mic terminal).<br /> Just out of curiosity I plugged<br /> in a regular headset mic (the<br /> jack is compatible). However, it does<br /> not record anything. The in-built<br /> microphone cuts out when I<br /> plug in the headset mic, but<br /> there is no sound. I have<br /> already tried manually increasing<br /> the gain. </p> <p> So the question is, is this to be<br /> expected, or is there a problem<br /> with the mic terminal? The camera<br /> is brand new and everything else<br /> works (including the headphones).</p> <p> Any suggestions/insights?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/canon-hf-200-audio#post-50443 Sat, 29 Aug 2009 18:02:24 +0000 cuba1902 50443@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have a question on my Canon HF 200 if anyone is familiar with it. I wanted to connect headphones to it to listen to my talent, but it only seems to work in Dual shot or taking photos mode. It won't work in movie mode though which I found strange. I wanted to capture that cinematic look and shoot with 24 fps, but it just doesn't allow me to listen in on headphones in movie mode though. It does work great in the other two modes just fine. Any suggestions would be great. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/canon-hf200-headphone-question#post-50451 Sun, 30 Aug 2009 08:21:01 +0000 cuba1902 50451@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hello everyone<br /> I just purchased about a month ago a Canon HF200 Vixia and I have to say its a wonderful camera, but when in movie mode I can't seem to hear anything out of my<br /> headphones while recording. It works great in dual shot and photo modes, but just not<br /> in movie mode for some reason. Can anyone give me some advice on perhaps I may be<br /> doing something wrong or is this one of Canons flaws I may have found. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/quality-questionscanon-camcorders#post-45999 Mon, 20 Apr 2009 19:08:00 +0000 Richie1742 45999@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Im in the market of buying a HD camcorder and have narrowed it down to 2 models in my budget, The canon HF20 or the HV30.  My question is which model will capture better quality? (minii DV or SD card).....</p> <p> </p> <p>I was told from a tech that the Mini DV's perform better in low light setting in noticeable quality vs SD card based. is that true?</p> <p> </p> <p>Although i know SD Cards may be faster to upload and more efficient than the Older Tape Technology, im looking for the best quality to play home videos on my HDTV.</p> <p> </p> <p>Thanks in Advance. -Richard</p>
