External microphone offers enhanced audio quality as well as greater recording control to render more dynamic video productions.

Three separate pickup settings are available to suit a variety of shooting needs:

• Shotgun is a monaural recording mode that picks up a narrow band of sound in front of the camera, making it suitable for dialogues, single musical instruments, or other specific subjects.

• 90° stereo recording mode is suitable for a single subject and adds some audio context to the sides to suit recording small groups of people.

• 120° stereo recording mode offers a wider angle of sound that is ideal for recording larger groups in more expansive areas, such as a band on stage or an outdoor party.

This microphone is compatible with select EOS digital cameras that have a dedicated movie recording mode and an external mic jack.

The included wind screen helps to reduce peripheral sound from wind or other ambient sounds for cleaner, more focused playback. Additionally, the microphone has an integrated shock mount construction to reduce camera and lens operation noise.

A frequency range of 50 Hz to 16 kHz can accurately capture a wide variety of sounds, including live music, nature sounds, and dialogues.

Rather than using the camera's battery, this microphone incorporates its own power source to offer longer continuous recording times. The included CR2032 button-type lithium cell battery is easily replaceable and a power check lamp is featured on the mic body for checking battery level status. Additionally, when connected to a camera, the microphone will be automatically turned on or off in conjunction with the camera's own on/off switch.

Q: 1. Does this work on a Sony SX60HS camera?

A: Your Sony camera manual (PDF on line) will say which external mics will work with that camera....

Q: 2. Will it work with the G50?

A: Yes it will.

Q: 3. Will it work with a TTL flash cord? I'm using the DM-E1D with a Canon R5C and need to put the mic on the side of my rig. Thanks

A: No, the Canon DM-E1D Stereo Microphone is not compatible for use with a TTL flash cord. The DM-E1D connects directly to the camera's Multi Interface shoe.

Q: 4. How would this be on a Canon XF605? The hot shoe is at the rear (about 1' from a shotgun).

A: The Canon DM-E1D Stereo Microphone is not compatible for use with the Canon XF605 UHD 4K HDR Pro Camcorder because the DM-E1D is intended for use with Canon mirrorless and DSLR cameras that have the Multi-Function Shoe for a cable-free and battery-free connection. The XFF605 has a standard shoe. It can be used with the Canon DM-E1 Directional Microphone (B&H # CADME1), which is a similar microphone that connects with a cable and uses a battery for power.

Q: 5. Is this mic compatible with the M50 Mark II?

A: This microphone was purchased over an year ago & I not know if it came with a warranty.

I use it to record video in an echoing hall and on the trail with very good results.
