Audio AGC VIXIA G40

Is there a way to disable the Audio Gain on the G40? I am using an external mic but when there is a pause in the audio the noise floor goes thru the roof. I have it on manual, line in.

Have a look at the audio settings section in the manual. In my Legria G40 manual it starts on page 78.

The manual must be about the same. I have the setting on manual (which I thot would disable any AGC function) for a line in external audio source (audio console). But it still raises the noise floor during pauses in the audio.

On page 81 there is a section on setting the recording level to manual instead of auto gain. Give that a try.
