HVX200 beeping

My HVX200 has a beeping sound when recording. Once or twice per second or so. It's not steady like a sync signal. Sort of like a stopwatch beeping at random intervals.

I also noticed I can hear when the camera is auto-focusing.

When zooming manually, I also get some extra noise.

I used an AT875R shot gun microphone, attached with the mount that comes with the HVX200. The audio you hear is only from this mic - I removed the audio tracks from the built-in speakers.

Anyone noticing any of these issues?

I put up a test video where you can hear these things. Use headphones or turn up your speakers.


I can live with these issues, but it's a bit annoying now that I know they are there.

Yeah, I realize now (after reading more on this forum) that it is the problem with a large P2 card. I have an 8GB and 64GB card, and the problem only occurs with the 64GB P2 card. I will have to send it to Vancouver for service. I'm in Alberta.
