Canon DM-E1 Directional Stereo Microphone with BP-820 Battery & Charger + Cleaning Kit for Canon Vixia HF G20, G30, G40 Camcorder

Crisp sound. Superb performance.

The Canon DM-E1 Directional Stereo Microphone can help experienced videographers and aspiring filmmakers alike achieve high-quality audio when recording video using a compatible Canon EOS digital camera. It features a number of directional controls to suit the environment and your shooting needs. Shotgun mode keeps audio focused on a subject directly in front of the camera, such as when interviewing someone for a documentary.

Stereo (90°/120°) mode captures audio over a wide area for more ambient sound, ideal for nature scenes or entire orchestras. If your creativity brings you outside, the microphone also comes with a Wind Screen to help keep wind noise to a minimum. Whether you're looking to create your masterpiece movie, record a concert or simply capture the sights and sounds of nature, the Directional Microphone DM-E1 pairs wonderfully with a Canon EOS digital camera to help you achieve phenomenal audio for your video.

Key Features:

Suited specially to help enhance sound quality when shooting video on EOS cameras:
The Directional Microphone DM-E1 is Canon's first external microphone specially designed to work with the EOS line of digital cameras with a microphone jack. Featuring multiple directional controls, shock mount construction, a bundled Wind Screen and more, it can help strengthen the audio quality on videos of virtually any subject.

Three pickup settings to suit your shooting needs:
Shotgun mode picks up sound in a narrow band in front of the camera, making it suitable for dialogue or single musical instruments. The 90° Stereo mode focuses on audio from a single subject primarily while adding in some additional adjacent sound on either side of the subject. This works well for a small acapella quartet, or a group of people talking at a party. The 120° Stereo mode gathers a far wider angle of sound, ideal for capturing audio from a large area like a backyard wedding reception or a large band playing on stage.

Compatible with select Canon EOS series digital cameras:
The Directional Microphone DM-E1 is designed for seamless, smooth operation with select EOS series digital cameras that have a movie mode and an external mic jack. This includes most DSLR models from professional to entry-level, along with the compact EOS M series digital cameras.

Included Wind Screen helps reduce peripheral sound from wind and other outside noise:
One of the greatest difficulties in recording audio outside is figuring how tiny gusts of wind can avoid sounding like a hurricane through the microphone. To help keep your audio focused on your subject, the Directional Microphone DM-E1 comes with a Wind Screen that effectively keeps wind noise to a minimum.

Shock mount construction helps reduce camera operation noise and lens driver sounds:
Microphones can pick up vibrations transmitted through their chassis. To help minimize this and catch only the sound you want, the Directional Microphone DM-E1 features a shock mount design that isolates the microphone from the noise and vibrations caused by camera and lens operation.

Frequency response of 50 Hz to 16 kHz:
The Directional Microphone DM-E1 features a frequency range of 50 Hz to 16 kHz, and is able to capture a wide variety of sounds for your creative work. If you're recording music, this range can encompass the low notes on a bass guitar all the way up through the delicate plucks of a mandolin. It flourishes outdoors in nature as well, able to pick up the solid rumble of waves on the beach, or the high bird songs in a forest.

Power check lamp allows the user to conveniently check battery life:
Equipped with a power check lamp, the Directional Microphone DM-E1 allows you to easily check if you have enough battery life remaining for your next video.

Built-in power supply of a single button-type lithium cell battery:
Instead of using your camera's battery and potentially reducing your recording time, the Directional Microphone DM-E1 has a single, easily replaceable CR2032 button-type battery (included) for long-lasting use. When connected, the camera's on/off switch also conveniently turns the microphone on and off, saving its battery from running down when you're not using the camera.
