While these cameras offer good image quality, and can be super-compact, their audio pickup leaves something to be desired, especially when shooting in windy conditions. To control wind noise, I made a windscreen for my compact’s microphone from the gauze-like padding of an adhesive bandage. Taped over the mic’s tiny port, the “screen” does an admirable job of muffling, even eliminating, the sound of wind from my videos."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/windscreen.jpg" /><br /><br />I haven't owned a point-and-shoot in some time now so I haven't come across this problem recently, but I know of the problem well from videos online. That bandage like thing in the image above (band-aid for your camera) is the solution. That's a cute little solution. Anyone have any other tips on little DIY solutions for common camera problems?
