So I have gotten myself a Canon HF100 1080p camcorder and I will be using it for the first time the 12th of November (soon).
It will be a rock concert at a pretty small club place (not extremely small though)
I've read some tips on this forum that manual focus should be used and set while you have zoomed in on the drums / backdrop (something in the back of the stage)
But to my question... I will be using the built-in microphone and I wonder if I should use auto or manual for audio levels on the mic? What is the best to use? And if I should have the manual-function. Is it correct that the meter shouldn't go over -12 dB as the user-manual says?
I will also have a Edirol (built-in mics) with me but I want the audio on the videorecording so be as good as possible just in case something happens. You probably know what I mean.
Sorry for my bad english. Hope you guys can help me out here
Thanks in advance.
