Recently whenever I record into the Vixia HF R800 using an external microphone there's a subtle but noticeable hiss in the audio track whenever the sound is quiet. Does anybody know where this could be coming from / a way to troubleshoot the issue an...
Hello, from my research I gather changing the internal coin battery on these "requires factory service", which is EOL. Regardless of being soldered in or whatever I would like to at least look at it to satisfy my curiosity, maybe attempt something wi...
