Sony Shotgun Microphone - Sony ECM-B10

No, the ECM-B10 is powered directly by the camera via the Multi Interface Shoe.

The ECM-B10 is compatible with Sony cameras that support the digital audio interface through the Multi Interface Shoe. Check your camera specifications for compatibility.

The windscreen reduces wind noise and plosives (popping sounds) when recording outdoors or in windy conditions.

The directional mode is selected via a switch on the microphone. Options include Super-directional, Uni-directional, and Omni-directional.

The ECM-B10 is designed primarily for use with Sony cameras. The 3.5mm audio cable included can be used to connect to a non-Sony camera, but it will not allow you to take advantage of the digital audio capabilities.

Store the ECM-B10 in the included carrying case when not in use to protect it from dust, moisture, and physical damage.

Please refer to the product documentation or contact your retailer for warranty information.

Check the camera's audio input settings to ensure the microphone is selected. Verify the microphone is properly mounted and connected. Make sure the camera's volume settings are appropriate.

Ensure you are using the correct directional mode for your recording scenario. Check for any obstructions near the microphone. Test in a different location to minimize ambient noise. Consider using the included windscreen to reduce wind noise.

Make sure that the camera has the latest firmware installed. Ensure there are no other wireless devices interfering with the signal. Try moving closer to the camera and re-establishing the wireless connection.
