I have a Canon Vixia HFS100 camcorder. I'm an entertainer that will video my performance soon. I tried coming out of my Yamaha mixer into the mic input of the camera. I hear some distortion. I need to know how to control the volume input on the camera so it does not distort. all help is appreciated. Thanks...

Thanks, Rick. I found out there's a way you can turn the mic down and it worked!
