Thanks! I'm recording at 24fps, the exif says 23.98 fps. In one minute the drift is about 3 sec. (The camera is 3 sec faster than the audio, not slower as I wrote in my first post. So I have to increase the length of the video clip relative to the audio to make them match.)

Yeah, that almost sounds like Nick's theory that the camera could be recording at 24fps but the editor thinks it's 25fps and is playing it a little bit faster. What editing software are you using?

I like Joe's idea of seeing if other software such as a video player still plays the video too fast. And what about if you play the video in the camera itself, viewing it on the camera's monitor?

What happens if you try recording at a different frame rate such as 30fps?
