Description
External microphones that can be used with the camera (EOS 5D Mark IV)
Solution
| Solution |
Stereo sound recording is possible by connecting an external stereo microphone equipped with a miniature stereo plug (3.5 mm diameter) to the cameraâs external microphone IN terminal as the external microphone is given the priority. Using the Directional Stereo Microphone DM-E1 (sold separately) is recommended.
NOTE
- It is possible to use a microphone that supports plug-in power (which is supplied from a camera to the microphone)
- The cameraâs built-in microphone will also record the operation sound and mechanical sound of the camera during shooting. Use the Directional Stereo Microphone DM-E1 (sold separately) to reduce these sounds in the movie.
- 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.
