Audio settings while recording fireworks. Vixia 400

[Cori8145]

I have a Vixia 400. When I record fireworks it filters out all background noise and all you hear are the bangs, crackles and pows of the fireworks. Once the fireworks have stopped the background noise (music and the crowd) comes back. Is there a special setting or do I need an external mic to get the music recorded also?

Hello Cori8145,

We would think that, based on the situation, you may need an external microphone to get the music like you want.  Initially the noise of the fireworks overwhealms everything else, which is why it's so prominent.  There is no special setting that would change this aspect of recording.  We apologize for any inconvenience that this may cause you.
