When the audio input selection switch for INPUT 1 or INPUT 2 is set to ANALOG and the corresponding ANALOG (analog source selection) switch is set to MIC or MIC+48V, you can select the external microphone's sensitivity.
Open the desired INPUT terminal's sensitivity submenu.
Setup screen: ALT [Audio] [OPTIONS] [Audio Input] [INPUT 1 Mic Trim] or [INPUT 2 Mic Trim]

Select the desired level and then press SET.
You can select one of 5 sensitivity levels from -12 dB to +12 dB.
Microphone Attenuator (INPUT Terminals)
When the audio input selection switch for INPUT 1 or INPUT 2 is set to ANALOG and the corresponding ANALOG (analog source selection) switch is set to MIC or MIC+48V, you can activate the external microphone's attenuator (20 dB).
Open the desired INPUT terminal's microphone attentuator submenu.
Setup screen: ALT [Audio] [OPTIONS] [Audio Input] [INPUT 1 Mic Att.] or [INPUT 2 Mic Att.]
Monitoring menu: EVF [Audio Setup] () [Audio Input] [INPUT 1 Mic Att.] or [INPUT 2 Mic Att.]
