You should be able to split the settings (use XLR for one channel - convention would be use the LEFT channel for the clean signal).
If you are using a Mic, make sure Mic is set for Gain... which adds 40db to line. If you have it set to Line, it will be very quiet. If you have a Line signal at set to Mic, it will be overmodulated.
Typically, I would use a Lav and Shotgun or 2 Shotguns. With double shotgun, you can set one 10-20db lower as a safety.
That said, I never record show audio in any camera pre-amp. This is NOT a knock on BMD cameras. I just like to have better recorders. I'm currently using the new Sound Devices MixPre II for this... dynamic range 140+ db, 32-bit float... you can mess up alot before you have an issue. It's the perfect videographer's audio recorder. You can pipe this back into the camera for reference (as LINE level).
