Sony HDR CX550V sound problems

Oct 31, 2010 6:51AM PDT

Anyone have any trouble with sound recording using this camera? I am using them (I have two new ones) primary for interviews and even using the low recording level I get a lot of white noise. I also have a 'wireless mic' but still pick up white noise and can't seem to find a setting that would take care of that.

This is not an issue with regular school events or functions, but in a quiet room the white noise is awful.
