Is there a way to see the recording level meters on the rear screen while actually recording video with sound set to "auto". I know I can see the meters when recording with sound set to "manual". I just trust the auto level setting more than myself but like to have on-screen confirmation that my levels are OK. Thanks.

I just checked with Canon and meters will not show on display when recording audio in Auto mode. No apparent work-around.

Certainly a good question, and it would definitely be nice to see that, so that you could decide whether you want to just take over manually due to what the camera is doing in auto mode.

I usually wear headphones connected to the camera when recording video. You pretty quickly learn what to expect from what you hear.
