Don't Try Synching This Audio with Video

Monday, October 12, 2009

For some reason, the internal clock used by the ZOOM H4 is a bit off the "true" clock. What this means is, if you video tape an event or something, and at the same time record the same audio with the ZOOM H4 (using it as an additional audio source) the audio files produced by the ZOOM H4 will NOT SYNCH with the audio/video produced by any MiniDV Camcorder!!! The H4 audio runs slightly faster for some unknown reason. The manufacturer acknowledges the issue, but can't fix it. Which means all of your audio is actually playing back at a slightly different pitch than what was originally recorded. To me, this is inexcuseable for a product prioed this high.
