Digital camera microphone Canon DM-E100

The Stereo Microphone DM-E100 is a compact, lightweight on-camera microphone designed for vloggers and casual videographers who want improved audio for their videos. It connects to compatible DSLR, mirrorless, and compact digital cameras and draws power directly through the camera's 3.5 mm audio jack, so no batteries are required.

Advantages

The DM-E100 offers straightforward plug-and-play operation and a small form factor that does not add significant weight or bulk to the camera setup. Being powered via the camera's 3.5 mm jack removes the need to manage batteries, and its stereo pickup improves the spatial quality of recorded sound compared with built-in camera microphones.

How to use
