Glad you found a solution to your problem. Would you mind posting a photo after changing the setting for comparison?
Also, I notice you have a GX7 as well. Which would you recommend between the GX7 and A6000 for a family with young children that performs well indoors? I also plan to shoot video with it as well.
Thanks.

Here's a reprocessed one after changing the profile from Adobe to Camera.
I have young kids too. For me, the problem with the A6000 for photographing kids inside is I only have one stabilized lens and it's not particularly great in low light. I really got into Sony for the A7ii (I thought a A6000 would give some lenses useful double duty). I still use M43 quite a bit though.
M43 has a great lens lineup and on the cameras I own, every lens is stabilized. On the A6000, you would probably need the stabilized 35mm f1.8. I'm not sure there's a faster stabilized lens offhand. An A6000 sequel with in-body stabilization would be great. I feel M43 cameras generally focus faster in low light than my Sony's - at least with the lenses I have. CAF is better on the A6000.
The GX7 is very good for video but there you would need a stabilized lens as the in-camera stabilization only works with stills. I haven't used the A6000 a lot for video but it seems decent. I like how its continuous AF works in video mode - more gradual and less jarring.
Everything is a trade off. I really like both cameras...especially now that my RAW issue is fixed.

Glad you got it sorted. Unfortunately I always use Camera standard so this is not the cause of my issue.
Thanks for the feedback. I ended up scoring a good deal on a GX7 and 20mm F1.7 combo kit so I think I'm set. Is there an OIS zoom lens that you could recommend that would compliment the prime? Something in the $300 to $500 range that won't require its own bag to carry around. I would have opted for the 12-32 alone if that was available but it wasn't.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.
I'm glad the OP has sorted his problem out because I downloaded the RAW file & couldn't see any problems. For some reason the file wouldn't open in LR but did so in CS6.( see below )
All but the most experienced users should avoid using Adobe settings as most devices cannot handle their info correctly. It also should be remembered that when developing RAW files that some noise reduction may need applying , the camera OOC Jpegs do this automatically.
PS - just tried to open in LR again & this time it worked !!

The GX7 with 20 1.7 is my favorite "pocketable" combo. I wish the A6000 had an equivalent lens. The 12-32 is surprisingly good and amazingly small. My first copy was decentered but the replacement always surprises me. If you can do without the 12mm, the Panasonic 14-42 II (make sure it's the II) is sharper. If you need more reach, I hear the 45-150 is pretty decent. There's also the new and very small 35-100 which has been getting good reviews.
Yes, I'm glad too! In all my years with LR, I've never changed the camera profile settings as I was perfectly happy with the defaults. Oddly (and I've only just converted a few images), I feel the Adobe profile might be better for the A7ii. We'll see.
I always apply a small amount of NR but never more than 20 Luminance in Lightroom. Sometimes I use a little Sharpness Masking too. Most cameras go way overboard with NR in OOC jpegs - even at the lowest settings...IMO.
