It may not be logical to engineers but users will want the flexibility to use whatever camera they want on the X5 Adaptor.
Users will find that with the X3, audio is by default on. With the X5, it is by default, OFF. This can result in user error at critical moments e.g. complaints about the SSD taking time to format on the X5R.
Further, if you want to use the internal mic when in X5 mode, there is another, separate switch to turn on. This is where I missed earlier. I acknowledge that most professional users will not use the internal mic unless by accident they forgot the external mic. The recordings are OK for voice but are contaminated by fan noise - X5R >> X5 >X3. I guess this is why by default, the internal mic is turned off. I note that there is also a dialog box warning of this noise.
I would strongly suggest that in the next version of the Go app, there be a separate menu for the audio features for the X5 / R (which include gain adjustment). Right now, having the audio menu buried under a pile of video settings IMO is not good UI design. Most users will miss this and I fully expect complaints. |
