https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/Sound-levels-manual-or-auto/m-p/28105#M11989 <P>I've been recording sound with the T4i by setting the levels manually, but since you can't see the levels in real time while recording, I've gotten some clipping..... the last time I recorded I used the camera's automatic levels feature. I'm using an Opteka VM-100 condenser shotgun mic mounted on the camera. I know I read somewhere, that someone warned against using the camera's autolevels, but why not, if it prevents clipping?</P> Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:34:54 GMT blue 2013-06-11T14:34:54Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/EOS-DSLR-Mirrorless-Cameras/Sound-levels-manual-or-auto/m-p/28105#M11989 <P>I've been recording sound with the T4i by setting the levels manually, but since you can't see the levels in real time while recording, I've gotten some clipping..... the last time I recorded I used the camera's automatic levels feature.
