Re: [Avid-L2] OT: Recording audio when shooting with a DSLR

It's not the H4N. It's the 5D and other HDSLRs. It is a known problem that
the internally recorded audio on a 5D is approximately two frames off from
video. So what Steve is saying is don't sync your H4N audio to the AUDIO of
the 5D. Sync the H4N audio to the VIDEO of the 5D.
