    Question S50 Video Clip Motor Sound?

    For those that own and use a S50, when you record a video clip, do you hear the motor (machinery) sound?


    There is no sound on the background while recording and I can hear the camera operating sound when I view the clip.

    This is very annoying. Is this normal for all Canon cameras or the S50 or something I should worry about?

    Camera mics can pick up the operation of the autofocus systems. It's just what happens when a motor is in such close proximity to the microphone. Some cameras do it, some don't.

    How to tell the most experienced shooter in a group? They have the least amount of toys on them.
