If the video recording aspect is similar to the K-r (and I believe it is), whilst the internal mono mic isn't great it does an OK job of recording audio to the point you should be able to at least hear the recorded audio. Have you tried to play the clip back on a computer? At least the K-5 has option of adding an external mic, which is something I wish my K-r had. I find the biggest problem with the pin hole mic is wind noise. Maybe time for a DIY wind jammer(i.e. stuck on bit of foam).
not worth the trouble.
easiest solution... external recorder and final cut pro x... select your clips and audio, control click and select "Synchronize clips" and it's done..
in Imovie you can use a clap or clacker noise to get audio spikes and then line them up in the timeline.

I'll give you $100, Don....
...to make it go away!
That really has made me smile, perhaps more appropriate for an American billboard?

It may just be the angle of the shot but does the right arm look more muscular than the left
billboard for Mad magazine?
right arm can't be, I'm ambidextrous...
one million dollars please...

turn your sr off while shooting video if you must use the internal mic.
with imove you can set up sync with external recorder..
what are you vdeo recording? maybe some specific tips will help..

Actually - the thread has made me think quite a lot about photography as art - I do find I like all the pics posted, including Lloyds 'constructs'. Print them large, hang them in the right place with the right lighting and they might work. I might actually give it a go.

Hi.
My K-5 does not record sound and when it does the recorded sound is very weak with lots of noise.
Could you give me any advice?
Am I doing something wrong or do I need to send in the camera to check?
Thanks for your advice.
as for weak sound, that is likely built in mic and distance from the subject, a problem ALL video cams have with built in mics..
now no sound, that is a problem.. possibly a video codec issue with your software/computer...
the best solution? get an off the camera mic such as Rode video mic or get a separate audio recorder like the zoom h1 or h2 recorder.... you would need to add the audio separately in post... how's you video editng skills?
