This may seem like a silly question but i will be video taping using a camera while using this Zoom H2n to record. So how do I sync the 2 together and will it be a perfectly synced piece of video?

You use a standard audio wire that goes from the Headphones/Line Out output of the Zoom to the input of the recorder. I do it all the time.

Because we never mastered using this machine, I cannot help you. I'm sorry.

Great response, Dave Diode...I have a question about this. Can it be attached only to DSLR cameras or also mirror less cameras? Thanks! (I'm searching for a dSLR quality camera but found out that none can be used at classical concerts because of the loud shutter noise).

Since video and audio cover the same event, the only problem in timing should be synchronizing them. I haven't needed to do that yet; but I think most video editors allow you to add sound tracks and synchronize them. Once you have a visual event that matches the beginning or end of an audio event - like somebody starting to talk - you can line them up, and then the whole files will be synchronized.

You'll need video editing software that will allow you to import audio. Most will do this, but make sure before you buy. As for price, you could spend a little or you could spend a lot depending on your expertise.

Unfortunately, I'm still to dig the complexities of the recorder. Furthermore, I'm not making videos...

Yes you can zoom while shooting videos. I'm not a professional but this is the best camera for zoom and has a sports feature that makes awesome photos! I can't brag on it enough. Best money spent on a camera!!

Thanks for the info Corey! I agree that zooming during recording can get a bit nauseating if done too much/too fast but it is a nice feature to have in certain instances. At least the zoom works before/after like it does on my old 3.2MP Cyber-shot. Thanks for clearing that up.

Have no idea about the Zoom H2N... It works well with the Sennheiser remote microphone system.

You can choose to record audio as an MP3 or WAV file and then synch it with video recorded on another device. It's really easy to do with software like iMovie.

No... However, I really doubt it would, the connection is tight. One observation though. Just looking at the Zoom you have listed, the Dead Kitten is going to ride down on the device toward the display. It's just the laws of elastic connections and smooth plastic... So, it may get in your way a bit, and that may not bother you. When I used this little furball the recording device I owned at the time had mics that faced out; rather than in, the way the mics on the Zoom H1 do. So there is nothing to prevent it from sliding down. You might want to consider a foam cover, like the ones used on cordioid mics. I hope that makes sense and helps! This would be a tight fit on a Zoom H4n.

Yes you can seamlessly. Using Apple's built in program Imovie. We are a all Apple Environment, so we can answer any questions you may have pertaining to this camcorder and Apple.Thanks,Josh

No. You re not. It is called slow synch. You can change sync. Speed by going into the camera's custom function and change it.

Hi Karen,I was also confused about the same. Yes you can make it sync via WiFi ... BUT you do have to buy the eyefi SD card.It does not have built WiFi like newer cameras do.

I'm slightly confused as to what you're asking. I'm not familiar with the Zoom H6 Recorder, but I'm assuming you're using this for podcasting based on you saying "discussion." The way this device works is that you connect it into the headphone port of the recording device. Any headphones connected to the Microamp will hear everything you're recording.

Hey Alex; the camera will ask you what's your recording destination (external SD card or internal memory) so you cannot record simultaneosly into both modes. Hope this helps.

I use a Mac and have used this with both iMovie and FCP 7. It does keep sync. I have copied over six hours at SLP. If you are using Firefire 6pin to 6 pin you do not need an external power supply. If you are using 6 pin or 4 pin to 4 pin Firewire you will need a 5 volt center positive power supply. My audio is always recorded at 48Hz not 32Hz.Pat McVideo

This might be of help to you, a lot of good advice about using the H2 http://www.2090.org/zoom/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=9745 notice that they say the AGC is just a digital adjustment so they recommend leaving it turned off since you could simply choose to AGC it when eidting on your computer later (whereas if you AGC with the H2 you don't have the option of undoing it later) As for software, Audacity is free and has a 5 star rating from Cnet http://download.cnet.com/Audacity/3000-2170_4-10058117.html?tag=mncol

Sorry for the delay as i was out of town. I just tried it out and yes you can zoom in recording mode.

Yes! there is a line in and line out, as well as the USB port. I also agree with Library Picks Reviews. That's exactly why I purchased the Zoom H2n. Enjoy!

I believe that has to do with the H2's recording mode. By default it is set to 44.1 kHz/16 bit, but the standard for audio used in video editing is 48 kHz. This could account for the syncing issues mentioned. Of course it could also depend on the editing software's capture process and clip length; I ran into a similar problem when editing a 45-minute clip, where the audio seemed to gradually drift out of sync from the video, though both were captured on one camcorder, and I had to remove like 3 frames on the video track to get it back together.

It has to be a compatible capture device. The key question is what is considered compatible? That I do not know as they refuse to release a compatibility list :( I have ran against the same issue with 1/2 my devices.
