Here is how my multi looks:

Are you saying one lead goes to the gauge socket, the other lead goes to another empty socket?

I measured this was the same result as I measure from both leads to the same gauge socket

result were:
200 - 1
2000 - 1
20m - 1
200m - 36.7
10A - 0.04

So it's less than 0.04A I suppose, while the car is in ACC mode.

I hope this is the right figures? I am going to unplug the camera and put the car in reverse and see what the Amp says.

You need to turn the knob to 10A. You clipped the bottom, so I can't see the holes, but it looks like there is a 10A hole on the left. One lead goes there and the other in common.
