o.k. I got my HMC-150s friday and already I took them on 2 jobs. I shoot in HA mode and am loving them! I do have one question does the speaker work on live video or just playback? I can hear my audio with headsets I can hear the speaker when I playback but I cant hear the speaker while recording. I read the book and cant seem to find the answer. Any thoughts?

Just a thought. Perhaps the reason why the speaker is not activated during live recording is to prevent the sound from being captured by the built-in mic and thus causing feedback.

possible, I use the shotgun though but it may be that way. I hope not I really dont like using headphones.
