Mini 0806 audio interference?

I just thought of something. I wonder if the noise is still present if the microphone is turned off?

This is from the Mobius website:
"You should always use cards from well known brands. Low quality and no-name cards, as well as some class 2 (or less) cards, may draw more than 20mA current than quality cards. This can result in unwanted electrical noise such as clicks, chirps, hum and buzzing in the audio recording."

Of course, I'm pretty sure that the Samsung Pro is a quality Micro SD Card.

Just a thought given Jokiin's comments about mic location... Have you tried moving the card to the other slot? If it really is 'noise' created by the card writing process, maybe moving to the other slot (further from the mic) might help?

same reason I mentioned that earlier in case it was electrically induced noise it was picking up
 
I would like to get to the bottom of this though. Hey, where is Rayman when you need him?
 
Well, 6 hours later, after having been on the charger the entire time, with camera OFF, the blue light was still on. On power up, the battery icon was about 90% full - just a sliver of black at the very top. I'm testing the run time now, screen on, recording, battery on.


EDITED TO ADD:
Well, that didn't take long. 4 min again. Plenty of time to finish up writing the last file. I'm now going to charge with the camera on, screen on, no recording. This should verify whether the charge rate is higher with the unit on.
 
I just received an email from SpyTec stating that they are contacting the manufacturer about the background noise to see if anything can be done about it. I'll keep everyone posted.
