I just purchased a Vixia hf g50 and and have added a 10" monitor to view while recording. It is very important to be able to know that I am getting good audio while recording. I don't want to find out later that my audio was poor. too late then!
Can I monitor the audio that is being recorded DURING THE RECORDING? (I know that I can monitor the audio with headphones while playing back).
Yes, you can monitor the audio with headphones during recording; See HF-G50 User Manual, page 73 'Using Headphones'
You can also monitor on-screen, and adjust, the audio recording level of the built-in microphone or an external microphone connected to the MIC terminal. For that you need to select the Custom 'Audio Scene' option; page 68, 'Audio Recording Level'
