Zoom H1
 
I shot a wedding last Saturday using the Zoom H1 as my back-up recorded. When I played it back after the wedding all I heard was the groom’s heartbeat. Can someone share with me what are the best settings when using the H1 with a Lav mic.

Thanks Ian, what about the auto level? should it be on or off?

Auto level should be off. The H1's auto leveling blows.

What should the input level be set at?

Gary, it may be a long shot but did your groom by chance have a pacemaker?

It would have surprised me because many are radio controlled and users are sometimes recommended to avoid radio mics anyway.

You sure you had the lav mic selected and not the Zoom's own? - I have the H2 and never had a problem (too bulky for a jacket pocket however)
