EOS-R Audio Levels During Record

I've looked and looked and have been unable to find a way for the audio levels/meter to show on the LCD during video recording. Somebody told me this isn't possible on the EOS-R but that seems kind of crazy to me to have such a simple, yet necessary function removed.

Just wondering how (and as crazy as it sounds "IF") you enable this?

Thanks!

I sold my R but I remember seeing the level meters.

Have you read this page?

Press the INFO button to cycle through the displays,one should have the meters included,if not you can edit what appears on screen in the set up menu yellow 6 if I remember correctly.

A bit late to the party and I hope you were able to figure it out but now, drisley, but in case there is anyone else who ran into this issue as I did, this is how you enable audio levels during video recording.

Go into Camera Settings > Page 1 > Sound Recording

Make sure sound recording is set to manual.

Now, as long as you aren't shooting in 120 fps (since 120 fps doesn't record audio levels) you will be able to see and adjust your mic recording level straight from the shooting screen.

If you don't see it, make sure you use the info button to scroll through your different info display modes until the shooting info on the sides of the screen show up (AF; Recording format; AWB; etc)

If none of your screens have it, Go to Menu SET UP (4th top box) > Page 4 > Shooting info. disp > Screen info. settings
Then just edit a screen to include detailed shooting info.

Hope this helps someone out there!
