So i have a t5i. When i plug in my rode video mic pro to use, and turn it on i go to the "sound recording" area in menu to manually adjust the levels. However, under "sound recording", the only options that come up are "on" and "off" .... no "manual" .. whhhyyyy??? 😞

I already know all this 😞

I need the manual option because otherwise if i rely on the camera to automatically adjust the volume, it doesnt.

When i watch the video in my laptop, theres a high pitch sound to the video becuase the sound has not been adjusted.

 

Why wont the manual option come up??

Did you highlight Auto, press Set and scroll to Manual?

Are you on green square? Maybe the options aren't available unless you are on P or one of the other modes?

Which is what the * means in the manual - that it is only available in creative zone.

no ive tried 😞 im on the creative auto mode as u suggested now, still no "manual" option 😞 .... this makes no sense because i know when i first started using this, there WAS a "manual" option under sound recording when i would plug the mic in

OH THE manual option came up in the "P" camera mode!!!!!
