Sound saturation (with camera)

[Olivier069]

Hello from France,

When I use the camera of my FP2 in a (loud) concert, I have problems with the sound that saturates.
I used to have a iPhone4 before, and never had this problem.

Is there a solution.

Thanks for your help.

Mic problems on loud video

Hi Olivier.
I fiddled around with many different apps, however, no use. Also manipulating the sound afterwards does not help at all.
Next steps I considered but not carried out:

1. Buy ext microphone - there exist several which can be plugged into the headphone socket.
2. Ask someone to try to adjust an open source app for changing microphone behaviour. However I could not even find out from the specs which microphone is built in.
   This problem makes me sad because I love going on concerts and take a shot from time to time there. with my old samsung S3 I never had a problem.
