  3. Remove the cover from the microphone

  4. Attach the microphone to the accessory shoe on the camera

    • Insert the mounting foot of the microphone until it clicks into the accessory shoe on the camera.

  5. Secure the microphone

    • Slide the mounting foot lock lever.
    • Lock it so it clicks.

Caution

  • Make sure the microphone is securely attached. Loose attachment may cause malfunctioning, and the microphone may fall off.
  • Do not touch the contacts with your fingers. This may lead to corrosion. Corroded contacts may cause malfunctioning.
  • Blow off any foreign material on the multi-function shoe with a commercially available blower or similar tool.
  • Allow the multi-function shoe to dry before use if it gets wet.

Attaching the Wind Screen to the Microphone

This has the effect of reducing noise from wind, etc.

Caution

  • Do not pull on or wash the wind screen, as fibers can easily come out due to the material it is made from. A loss of fibers causes a reduction in the noise reduction effect of the wind screen.
  • Do not use or store the wind screen in a high-temperature location, such as inside a car under the hot sun. Doing so will cause the base material to harden and the fibers to wither.
  • Take care to ensure that fibers that come out of the wind screen do not enter the camera.

  2. Release the lock

    • While pressing the lock-release button, slide the lock lever.
