Sound problems with my Nikon Coolpix 4600 camera

hi,
did you test your cam with previously recorded memory stick ?
if it gives sound, it means the speaker and audio sections are working well, if newly recorded scene not gives sound means, there may be problem with the microphone, change it.

The problem is the microphone on the camera. The mic on the camera is for recording sound in more normal environments. The sound level on a typical concert is much higher than normal, and the mic on the camera just doesn't have what it takes to record sound at those levels.

One possible solution is to record the sound with a dedicated audio recording device, and combine the video and audio in your video editing software.

Look for a Menu then FPS (Frames per second) option.30 fps should solve your issue. sometimes in order to keep file size low the setting is slower causing this issue.Good Luck.

Hello,

The Nikon Coolpix 4600 does not record any audio with the video.
This is surprising and not very useful.

The Coolpix 5600 does and the 4600 uses the same body, that is why it has microphone holes on the top.

This may sound silly but are your speakers on? LOL also it may not be a good format

Hello, After doing some research on the NIkon Coolpix 4600, it seems the camera is constantly doing the autofocus thing. IOW - it can't be turned off. Hope this helps. 

you want a lciking sound?

My 3200 does not play sound in the video mode. I do believe this series of Nikons were issued with silent video only.

That's because this camera records video only without audio, same as on the 3100.

Actually, I have a 4600 too, and I'm pretty sure it says in the manual that the 4600 does not record sound, only video. You have to get the next model up in order to get sound as well. Sorry.
