Solution |
You can use a commercially available external microphone that is equipped with a stereo mini plug whose size is 3.5 mm in diameter with the camera.
NOTE
- It is possible to use a microphone that supports plug-in power (which is supplied from a camera to the microphone) because the EOS M3 is compatible with plug-in power.
- It is possible to use a condenser microphone. However, it is not possible to use a condenser microphone that requires phantom power (which is supplied from external power equipment to the microphone).
- It is not possible to use a dynamic microphone.
