Most camcorders have an inbuilt omnidirectional microphone that captures sound from all directions. However, this also means that it will pick up and amplify all background noise.
When filming, what sounds do you need to take care with?
- Breathing, sniffing or talking from whoever is filming, as their mouth will be only a few inches away from the camera's inbuilt microphone.
- Finger noise from pressing buttons near the microphone.
- The wind. To prevent the camera from picking up too much wind noise, you can put it on a 'wind reducer' setting.
- Hums and buzzes from other electrical equipment nearby. To prevent this when filming, check that any unneeded electrical equipment in the area switched off.
