I recorded yesterday w/ the DJI Osmo. When editing I discovered that audio and video of the last few scenes were not synchronized. I had to move the audio 15 (!) frames forward to get speech and video in sync. All previous scenes were ok, last 5 or 6 scenes were ALL out of sync for 15 frames.Settings on Osmo was 4K 30f, using Lexar 32GB 633x class1 micro SD.
I played the card in another PC, same result (i.e. problem is in the OSMO, not in iMac or HP desktop).

Hi, Siebie, sorry to know you are experiencing difficulties, may I know if you use internal mic or external mic?
I suggest to flash the firmware to see if the problem persists.
Here is the tutorial video for your reference:

Hello DJI Mindy, I used the external microphone. The latest firmware is already installed.

I found in a menu 'Camera' a possibility to adjust the audio gain level, but I hope this level is adjusted automatically. Otherwise we have to pay attention to the correct audio gain level before we record a scene...

Oops, I confused this topic with my other topic about audio level.

I switched from 4K to HD, and the same out-of-sync did not occur. However, as this is a 4K-device, I suppose it should record 4K without a problem.

I see, this is the question to your another thread: https://forum.dji.com/thread-124306-1-1.html
Unfortunately, the audio gain level cannot be adjusted automatically, please adjust it manually according to the shooting environment. Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

Sir, may I know what player you are using? We suggest KMPlayer.
If the problem persists, please send a short original video to Dropbox or Google Driver and post the link here for further analysis, thank you.

This has nothing to do with the player I use: the original footage shows the same behavior on various devices with various players and various editing programs (Pinnacle Studio, Final Cut Pro).

I still have the original footage, you can download it here: https://wetransfer.com/downloads ... 171222160743/0296ce

Link will be available until Dec 29th.

There are previous discussions of audio sync in this forum. Do a google search for it. Hope it will give you some backgrounds to this issue.

Thanks for the footage.
Just one more thing, what external mic do you use? Will the video and audio be out of sync with internal mic?

I always use the external mike (FM-15 Fleximic), so I cannot compare. The internal microphone records too much noise from the hardware, that's why I always use the external mike.
Within a few days I will try to record some scenes without the external mike and I'll let you know the results.
Furthermore: I recorded a (long) scene: in that scene sound and vision got out-of-sync, but later in the same scene they were suddenly in-sync, strange...

Yes please, let us know if the audio has the same problem with the internal mic, it would be helpful for troubleshooting. Thank you.
