Sony HDR-CX240E

[Whernsider]

I bought this camcorder to video old family cine films and convert them to DVDs for younger family members  who have  not seen them.   It is working  well  but I cannot get rid of the sound of the  noisy film projector.  I have  set the Volume to its  lowest setting  and tried to blank off  the microphone but nothing works.  I feel Sony must have allowed for mute videoing  but there  does not appear to  be any guidance  on this.   Does anyone know  the answer?           Whernsider

Hey Whernsider, this camera doesn't have a silent mode.

Thank you.    I contacted Sony  who told  me I cannot  record in  silent mode.   I now record with a piece of polystirene stuck in front of the  microphone which helps to muffle to projector noise.
