The Canon DM-E1D Stereo Microphone is a compact, easy-to-use mic designed for select Canon cameras with a Multi-Function Shoe. Key features include: For select Canon cameras with a Multi-Function Shoe Battery- and cable-free connection for reduced noise Shotgun, 90° stereo, and 120° stereo pickup settings Streamlined design with simple, intuitive controls Canon Multi-Function Shoe Compatible. The Canon DM-E1D Stereo Microphone connects directly to select Canon cameras’ Multi-Function Shoes, which eliminates the need for batteries or cabled connections. This in turn improves audio quality by reducing the potential for buzzing and other unwanted noise in your recordings. Three Pickup Settings. This mic offers three separate pickup settings to best meet your production needs. The shotgun mode picks up a narrow, focused band of sound in front of the camera, making it great for dialogue, single musical instruments, and other specific subjects. The 90° stereo recording mode adds some audio context to the sides, making it great for recording single subjects or small groups of people. Finally, the 120° stereo mode is ideal for recording larger groups in expansive settings, such as outdoor parties or concerts. Streamlined, Intuitive Design. The DM-E1D only features one on-mic control: a menu button that opens a menu on the connected camera so that you can change settings and make adjustments. Q & A Will this microphone work with my camera? Only Canon EOS cameras with the multi-function shoe are compatible, as that is how this mic is charged.
