hi
can anyone tell me how to use the manual sound recording function on a canon 5d2

what are the numbers ? -40db 12 0

and where should my levels be hitting to get the right sound?

thanks
 
Aim to get your levels around -12 or above slightly. Ideally you want to get as close to 0 without actually reaching it but its best to give yourself a bit of room. If you reach zero the signal will clip and you will get distortion.
 
Thanks and I get those levels by adjusting the controls and / or moving
Closer to sound source e.g person talking
 
Yes, better to be closer to the sound source than boosting the levels.
