Where is the low and high gain toggle on the 4.6k?

I saw several YouTube videos on the camera controls that showed high and low gain toggles for audio signal. I don't see it anywhere in the menus and my firmware is current. I'm not getting the strongest signal out of my lav mic and could use a higher gain.

Menu / Settings / Audio will display a few ‘tabs’ st the top the display various pages of settings including the gain on each audio channel. You set the microphone or audio in to ‘mic’ or ‘line’ as appropriate; then you select ‘high’ or ‘low’ which can strengthen the signal and on the next page you can adjust the gain for that high or low range. 50% gain means no adjustment to audio levels.

You might be looking at the UMP camera, which is a totally different camera to the first UM4.6K

David, you will need to add a mic preamp between the mic and camera. The UM mic preamps are kind of weak, and increasing gain past 50, increases background noise.
The UM Pro has I different and improved mic/line audio processing amp, which has to two gain settings.
