Is this camera a digital video device or an optical(film-based) camera? If the former, why do you need an separate audio recorder? A digital video camera captures both sound and vision, wide-screen(16:9) with stereo audio, already in synch. If it's the latter, I can understand the use of an external tape or mp3 recorder, but such as those old film-based beasties are museum pieces these days. Before your question can be answered, it's necessary to know this info.

I guess you did not understand my question. I am recording sound separately because I want to for better sound quality. The type of camera I'm using has nothing to do with my question as to weather sound can be sync automatically with Power Director 11. Why bother to reply when you obviously don't know.

This is a volunteer forum, please play nice.
The answer is "no", V12 and 13 have auto-sync, and it works very well.
If you don't mind wires, you can probably plug your Zoom directly to your camera using a 1/8" stereo jack (2 males).
So 2 choices, upgrade/switch your NLE, or mic to camera.

Thanks Barry for a no nonsense answer...I find recording sound separately on my Nagra SD Hand-Held Digital Audio Recorder results in better audio quality then if I plug directly into my camera.

emmettfitz8394: I do take a degree of offence to your remarks, as I was only trying to help. And for the record, digital video cameras can and do give a pretty good account of themselves in the audio department, as they record the audio digitally as well as the video.

Hi Neil,
some cameras do have good mics, as my HF M40 & 41, but the issue here (I think) is having a mic that is more than just a few feet away and you get "hollow" sound. Unforgivable result.
As for using a mic attached to the camera, if using 1/8 in mini-jacks, which is all I ever use or can afford, the cabling might not be properly shielded, though that's not occurred with me, yet.
I actually have a wireless lavaliere as one of my mics, I put the mic transmitter in a pocket, and plug the receiver into my camera, sounds darn good for a sub-$200 setup, and I can be mobile.
I might add the lavaliere clipped to my shirt looks very "Pro" onscreen. In addition I can plug any of my mics into the transmitter, including my Zoom, I don't have to use the lavaliere.
Imperfect video? People may still watch. Lousy audio? People will usually click away much faster.

Hi, Barry! The cameras I have are both Panasonic(brand). One is an SDR-S7, the other, an upgraded model, SDR-S71. The audio recording on these cameras is quite clean but the S7 has one shortcoming, it doesn't pick up the stereo field as well as the S71, which picks up the stereo field superbly. You really get the "spread". The only thing is, there's no provision for external microphone connection on these cameras. Some early machines(and they were "machines" in the sense that they had tape drive mechanisms in them) had that very provision for external microphones, which was useful if you wanted to do a "piece to camera", stand in front of the camera at a certain distance and "speak to your viewing audience", as it were. You could plug a mic in, stand back as far as the cable will allow, then do your piece(be it an intro, or an interview with someone, or whatever it might be). Regrettably, and I have to be honest here, you can't really do that with cameras like those I cited, the mics aren't capable of picking up much outside in open fields, fine indoors, not so good outdoors! One thing I do notice, and this goes back to my older Samsung mono Hi-8 camera, the microphone seems to pick up what's behind the camera better than what's in front of it! As for buying an SD card-based camera with an external microphone socket... you'll need mucho moolah for a purchase like that, in Australian or American dollars!
