https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Professional-Video/Zoom-Hum/m-p/181769#M830 <P>I own a VIXIA G30. Is it suppose to hum when zooming? I can barely hear it when I place the camera next to my ear. But when watching a video with live zooming the hum is really load and makes the video unuseable. Anybody have any suggestions about what may be happening?</P> Tue, 09 Aug 2016 19:59:48 GMT MT1051 2016-08-09T19:59:48Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Professional-Video/Zoom-Hum/m-p/181769#M830 <P>I own a VIXIA G30.

If your microphone is attached to the shoe closer to the front of the camera, you will hear the zoom when the mic is attached to the 3.5mm jack.</P> Sat, 20 Jun 2020 16:15:37 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Professional-Video/Zoom-Hum/m-p/310686#M832 rhckm49 2020-06-20T16:15:37Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Professional-Video/Zoom-Hum/m-p/310739#M833 <P>Yes, you may pick up the whir of the lens servo motors when doing a fast zoom and especially if you are recording with auto audio levels where the auto gain control will amplify faint sounds in quiet scenes.
