Original Subject Title: Resolve doesn't like my camera Panasonic DMC-FZ1000
I have recently got a new camera a noticed that every clip I use from it has the first 0.12 seconds muted (non existent). The audio does exist (not a camera/ recording fault) as when playing in a media player the audio plays instantly. Only when imported into Resolve does the audio get removed. The audio is still synced correctly but just muted/ removed at the start.
I can't work out what is causing this. I have tried different frame rates, clips, resolutions, recording dates & memory cards etc. This problem only seems to occur when using clips from this camera, iPhone clips work fine, Nikon CoolPix P900 clips work fine, Insta360 One X2 clips work fine but every clip from this new camera Panasonic DMC-FZ1000 is having this problem.
I am recording the video in 50 fps in 1080. This camera seems to output MP4 files whereas my Nikon CoolPix P900 outputs MOV files, could this be related (does resolve have issues with MP4 files or 50 fps)?
I have attached an image showing what the audio looks like when being viewed in the edit tab.
I would be very thankful to anyone who knows of a solution to this problem as at the moment I am having to trim every clip to remove the silent portion.

* If you use a Panasonic DMC-FZ1000 in Resolve and notice that the audio is missing at the start of each clip then here is an explanation. This does not appear to be an issue with Resolve like I had first thought. The Panasonic DMC-FZ1000 for some reason does not record audio for the first few frames when shooting video.
*Update 2. So it turns out that it isn't just my camera not recording audio. Apparently this is a common issue/ fault with many Panasonic cameras. The only solution I have found so far is to start recording before you need to use the footage
If I find out what causes this or a solution, I will update this post. Many thanks to everyone who has comment below.
