Description
External microphones that can be used with the EOS REBEL T3i/EOS 600D
Solution
| Solution |
Stereo sound recording is also possible by connecting the Directional Stereo Microphone DM-E1 (sold separately) to the cameraâs external microphone IN terminal as the external microphone is given the priority.
Most external microphones equipped with a 3.5 mm diameter mini plug can be used.
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 REBEL T3i/EOS 600D 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.
- The impedance of the microphones that can be used with the camera is around 200 Ω to 2KΩ.
- The cameraâs built-in microphone will also record the operation sound during shooting and mechanical sound of the camera. Use an external microphone to reduce theses sounds in the movie.
