Setting Audio Manually??

577jersey — Sun, 18 Feb 2018 02:49:06 GMT

Hi guys Tommy from Jersey here.

I just got my first DSLR a Canon T5I and I am using it for my youtube videos.

My question is will the manual audio levels that I set still be functional while in AUTO mode for shooting video?

I run a Takstar mic and really like the auto mode for video as I am always moving from dark to light places doing explores.

I think the AGC for auto audio are kinda harsh for what i do.

Thanks for any help!!

It should work. Have you tested it, yet?

I did some quick testing but it was hard to tell.I will have to do more extensive testing and i will post my results.

An easy way to find out would be to set my audio levels very low then flip over to auto,if levels are very low then i guess its working.

Thanks for the reply 🙂

I did the testing and the manual settings do not work in auto mode,kinda a turn off Canon if you ask me....oh well,I will just have to deal with the hissing effect i get from the AGC.

Thanks again guys,if you hear any way to fix this please leat me know.

Hello 577jersey,

The audio settings you have in manual won't transfer over to automatic, as it sounds like you have discovered. You may wish to try and use a different microphone too, to eliminate this as a possible cause of the issue.
