Re: G1 X Low-light Concert Photos

My G11 couldn't record loud concerts without a lot of distortion, so I'm not surprised the G1 X isn't doing much better. At the show last Friday, I was just a few feet from the monitors on the stage, so the bass really overloaded what the camera's internal microphone can handle. A manual audio level control in the G1 X would be nice. I looked in the menus and couldn't find any such setting.

The pictures in available light are excellent. Looks like a picture taking machine. That said I found myself wondering why the sound on the video is subpar. I only listened to a minute or so but it seems to me something is out of whack (so to speak) because the music wasn't that loud, in my opinion. Is it possible a switch on the camera was overlooked? Just asking.
