Camcorder Vixia HF G30 Recording Volume Problems

[chrisbitner]

My daughter sings opera; has a very powerful voice.  When I record her, the loud, high notes come out distorted, to much volume.  How do I control this so I do not get the static and still record her singing?

Does anybody know?

Hi Chrisbitner,

Thanks for posting.

• When you're filming your daughter, is she on stage or much closer to your camcorder?
• Are is the audio recording level manually or automatically controlled?

Hello Richard,

She is about 20-25 feet from me.  She is singing outdoors thorugh a PA system designed to generate sound for an area about 1/4 the size of a football field.

In the past, I used automatic control and I got distortion.

Can you please help?
