  Hey folks, 

Does anyone know if there is a microphone gain control on the a6000?  The built in audio is not that great.  If I use the Sony shotgun mic the audio clips really badly.  I have looked through all the settings and have not been able to find a gain control.  Is there one?  Also, searching online I have not been able to find anything either.

Following up to my own post. 

I was not able to find a gain control.  Though I was able to find a better microphone that seems to work pretty good.  The Sony EMC-G1.  It sounds much better than the ECM-GZ1M that has the clipping issue.

      Small cool bag for street photography

      Yes, sorry I didn't explain myself well. I've shown a picture of a cover, but maybe a cover does not protect the camera enough. I've seen neoprene covers in Amazon, but I'm looking for something else.  I need something with a zip so the camera is dust protected, with pads so it's shock protected, cool retro looking (like leather or hard canvas) and smaller than what I've found. With just the size to hold my camera with the lens.    Maybe I explained better now ;)

      You ask about bags, but then post pictures and discuss camera covers. Which do you want? If all you're doing is carrying a camera and one lens, maybe a cover.  If you check out amazon you can find camera covers, usually in neoprene, but some in leather. That's also a good source to see different bags. When I'm shooting an auto show or cruise, I typically carry a camera/lens in a neoprene cover and a pouch with two spare batteries.

      I recently came back to street photography after 20 years. In my 20s I used to carry my film camera around everywhere I went, I carried it on my shoulder with just the typical leather case that came with the camera (in the picture attached).  I just got my need for street photography back and so I bought a A7CII with the 40mm 2.5  I'm looking for a small shoulder bag to carry it around but everything I found is too big. I got this camera and lens for its size and I want to keep it small. Maybe I won't find a leather case like the one on my film Yashica, but something similar in size, just to carry the camera with that lens and nothing else... And if it is a retro looking bag, it would be perfect. Maybe leather (or synthetic leather) or a canvas one. The closest I've got is the Think Tank Retrospective 4, but it's still too big, I don't want to carry any extra lens.   Thanks for the help!
