Hi all,

I have been seriously been considering getting into video & audio alongside photography at local venues for gigs and I have been considering getting something like the Zoom H5 to connect up to my R5. So that I have a all in one solution for Photo / Video Audio.

Now what I was wondering was, am I able to record say a couple of songs from a band with video, but have audio recorded of the entire performance while I am taking photos, while the H5 is still connected to the camera ?.

You do not want to have the H5 on the camera when recording a band. You'll be too far away. You would want someone (an assistant) much closer to the band with the H5 while you take photos and videos. Also your movements will be very loud if you're taking photos and it will contaminate the audio track. The H5 can pretty much record the entire time while you are free to take photos and video.
