You’ll want an external shotgun microphone like the Sennheiser K6/ME66, mounted over-head on a boom with a special shock-mount holder, and connected with an XLR cable to the DVX-100 inputs.
The Sennheiser is a workhorse and widely used in the industry. This should run you about $ 500 or so.
Its also important to have a boom operator to position the mic over the actors and follow them during each take without creating any extra noise or dipping the mic in to the shot.
