Wind noise is heard when playing back recorded video.

    Wind noise is recorded when air is moving rapidly by the microphone of the camcorder. To help reduce wind noise, try any of the solutions below.

    • If the camcorder has a jack for an external microphone, use an external microphone.
    • Block the built-in microphone from the wind to help reduce the amount of recorded wind noise.
    • If supplied with the camcorder or the external microphone, attach the wind shield (foam or fur-type) to reduce the wind noise. 
      NOTE: Universal type wind shields may also be purchased separately from third party manufacturers.
