Canon M6 external mic picks up radio frequency audio

Re: Canon M6 external mic picks up radio frequency audio

Thanks for your replies.

After more testing, I found out that Manual or Auto settings don't matter, it always picks up some clear audio from some source nearby.

What's extremely weird is that the microphones, cables, etc, they have no problem if I record with another camera or if I record with my smartphone voice recording app + external mic.

But if I plug those microphones in the M6, suddenly it picks up some extra audio signal.

I suspect the audio signal to be coming from the neighbor's TV, because it only happens in the evening, and only in one area of my apartment (sadly, from the studio room).

I can clearly hear some TV hosts talking, or some commercial playing, when I record with the M6 + external microphones. It's like the M6 has a superpower, except that it's an annoying superpower.

So I don't have a solution, except that I will always record the audio with something else than the M6...
