Re: Canon M6 external mic picks up radio frequency audio

After doing a couple of test clips just a few minutes ago using my M6 Mk2 and a Rode Wireless Go II I played around with the Auto and Manual audio settings. Auto introduced a bit of white noise. Manual 0 +1 was clear, but too low in volume (although I did not try to see what it would be like boosting it in my editing software). Just before the first line seemed right. The meter was hitting high yellow, but not going into red. The sound when playing it back on my computer was clean and clear. I will be shooting in the same locations on Sunday where I had the mic problem. I will try it out with this manual setting and the VideoMicro. I will also try some test shots in Auto again (with both the VideoMicro, the Wireless Go and a Lav) to see if I can recreate the problem.
