The Canon DM-E1D Stereo Microphone is a compact microphone designed for compatible EOS cameras with a multi-function shoe. Easy MountingThis microphone easily attaches to the multi-function hot shoe on your camera, creating a digital connection. This means you won't need an internal battery or a cable to connect to the mic port, allowing for longer use and full access to your camera's vari-angle screen.Directional ControlsThe DM-E1D features several directional controls to adapt to different shooting environments. You can switch to shotgun mode, which focuses on sound directly in front of the camera, making it great for interviews.
