well i have a Hp photosmart digital camera i know its not top of the line but i was dissapointed when i tried to record my car.sounds like i have the window down but they were fully up .Is their a setting on the cam that i need to change or what listen to the clips nothing but pure static. and my cars very loud so maybe that has somthign to do with it

Hmm. How does it do when you're not in your car? Almost sounds like some type of electrical interference.

ls1chris

its almost the exact same when outside the car i thaugh about electrical interference also .So i took it outside and its the same .I dont knwo if i may have the settigns screwed up or what.Ive been looking at geting a sony camera later on if i cant fix this one

I don't think its in the settings, maybe there's something plugging the mic opening? Might be a soft/hardware glitch. Did ya just get it?

ls1chris

I picked up a Canon sd600, it takes nice pics and the video mode has settings for 15/30/60 fps. Its priced around 230.00 so its a good deal.

My little hpM425 works great. Vids are sub-par but pictures are descent. Great budget camera, I'd just call hp about it. All these were taken with it.

but it sounded like it was working ok, at the end of the first video, when the open door sound came on.

I had a HP Photosmart 635...the WORST camera I've ever owned...EVER.

The video taking feature did exactly the same, you can either send it back to HP which I called and asked them about, OR...you can try to sell it and get another camera.

Nikon, FujiFilm, Canon...Three brands that wont do you wrong

Sorry about the camera man...HP / Compaq (no offense to other people and this is my personal opinion) makes the worst crap on the planet!

I’m not sure exactly what wrong. But inside the mic there is a small diaphragm that oscillates back and forth as sound waves move across it. The movement of this creates a change in magnetic flux, which turns sound waves into small electrical current. If there is too much volume it could cause so much movement that it causes this diaphragm to break or it could cause the electrical current to heat up that it melts that insulations on the coil (almost the same as “blowing” a speaker). This is why it is dumb to have the camera so close to your exhaust when reving it, or sticking a camera outside your car with out the proper wind screens. - Possibly

It could also be from the road noise and engine noise combining and creating constructive and destructive interference. Which sound kind of like at some spots no sound is created and other spots to have amplified sound. - Not likely

It could also be settings or just the camera can not process the sound fast enough. Does it only sound like that on the computer or does it sound like that playing back from the camera? – Possibly

Sorry for the long reply... I am a physics major and sound and magnets are pretty cool
