Panasonic G7 - microphone sound levels

This might belong in the Digital Video Forum but as the Panasonic G7 gets discussed in the Micro Four Thirds Talk forum I created this post

Most cameras when video recording have an auto level control so that loud sounds near the mic are reduced and quieter sounds have a increase in the sound level.

I don't see a auto level control for the Panasonic G7 camera so I'm wondering what photographers do to control the mic sound level?

I was recently recording with this camera and seemed to get a overload of sound. Is there a easy way to adjust the mic level (such as a short cut) as sometimes you need to adjust the level of sound a lot.
