Generally, cams without manual audio controls and VU meters should have built-in auto limiters to prevent sound recording from over peaking which results in distortion.
Your new Sony should work the same, but I can bet that its the quality of the mic itself. Sound distortion is normally minimized or eliminated when using higher quality mics. Since you may have no other choice than to only use the limited selection of Sony mics, you may have to get an audio mixer as James has suggested.
Bottom Line:
The 5.I channel consumer cam mics still require allot of improvement. I would first try the best stereo mic you can get for your Sony cam, you will get a much better and stable sound.
