Purchased this product and set it up exactly as outlined in the instructions. Using a Sony HD Camcorder I'm getting constant 'ticking' sound?

Try changing the frequency - there are 3 settings on each mic pack and receiver. Mine does that when the frequencies don't match. Also happens when the battery gets low.

Hi again. Just tried mine out while recording a video and zooming in and out just as you asked, and it's silent. Sorry -- it does seem that you've got a lemon.

I have no idea why the video is bad, this item I have and the video and pictures when taken are clear, did you update your software? Adjusting the Logitech Pro 9000 for video is case sensitive. Perhaps un-install the software and re install and see what happens, sorry to hear that you are having problems with your device. Thanks TW

yeh the problem i'm having and i think the original poster is having is more of electronic beeping type noises rather than static, the static is probably just something to do with your hookup to the tv if it's fine on your computer and camera... but when i play back a video on my camera or computer i hear an annoying faint beeping sounding in the background

Try reinstalling the software. Mine acts that way sometimes. I know the camera price is low end of this type of camera, and I didn't expect a superior audio hardware. Given the fluctuation of the audio quality, I assumed the buzzing issue has more to do with either the camera software or the internet connection or both, more so than the hardware itself (other wise why I get better audio than buzzing sometimes?)

I was able to set the volume with no issues, also put it onto automatic emails to send me emails every so many hours.. and / or when there is motion around. youtube actually has a lot of tutorials on it.. search by the camera name + yoics you will find them.. here is one.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-ns4AbUmMo

No issues with mine. Very good video and sound. Rarely use my nice digital camcorder anymore.

I seem to have the same problem. There is a faint buzzing/hissing noise (coming from the lens area) whenever the camera is on, and while filming video this noise is magnified many times. What I'm wondering is whether this is just a standard problem, or whether there is a subset of these cameras that make the buzzing noise, or whether there is anything we are doing "wrong". Edit: Well, after some more testing and looking at video taken with this camera posted on youtube (there are plenty), it seems like this is normal. Slightly annoying, but I don't think it's noticeable when you are filming outdoors. Anyway, I'm stil happy with this camera as it has an amazing combination of features, and I can really find no other faults with it. The 720P video quality is as good as or better than I would expect, and the sound seems great as well (aside from the buzzing).

Yes - I just bought one - got it on Friday, today's Sunday and I hear incessant camera noise and the unit itself just doesn't have loud enough playback. Haven't found a way to increase volume through the editing process.

It's same here, there is a background static, can be loud if there are other sounds. But audio quality is pretty good, camera detects and counts every sound made by baby.

I had sent that unit back within a week!...Mine wasn't recording right and I don't remember much now about its funtions. sorry I couldn't help!:)

I've had nothing but good luck with this camera. I've had no problem with the built in mic. I thought it worked greast. I haven't noticed any noise. You may have a defective camera. I'd contact Panasonic.

I tried it out only once and didn't have any sucess with it. contacted the seller and they suggested I try increasing the volume out somewhere on the recorder. I haven't tried that yet. Not much faith in that though but we'll see.

Whatever it is, it isn't just static - I'll be returning my unit for another one after I dig the boxes out of the trash. If the second one isn't better, I'll move on to another video camcorder entirely. If it didn't have this problem and the sound volume being too low, it'd be great. I could kick myself for not looking at enough reviews before buying!

I'm not sure about that. I couldn't find a setting for that, just make sure the "Loop Recording" is not set to "Off". Other than that I don't know what the issue might be, sorry.

As Zen said, it's the image stabilization. Mine does it too. It sort of sounds like white noise.

well, miss Jennifer, the one that i bought didnt even work. i couldnt make it record or even start to do anything. the handful of forums i found about this item said simply: either the software works for you, or it doesnt. so i wouldnt trust it. yes, its cheap and looks easy, but you get what you pay for, ya know? my advice, if you havent bought it alrady, dont waste your time or money. hope this helps a little. :)
