    I decided to try the video function on my MK IV just using the internal mic (audio-manual setting) and during playback I'm hearing the noise from the AF motor which kind of sounds like static. It happens with both of my L lenses so I know it's not a problem with the motor in the lens.
    I've got a nice Rode shotgun mic but haven't used it yet as I was just trying to get familiar with the basic video functions first.
    Is this a "normal" phenomenon?

    Thanks

    Never mind.
    Did some digging and it's normal.
    It should go away when I connect my external mic.
