A: This unit has 3 pickup pattern options to choose from, Cardioid, Omni, and Supercardioid. The big difference between digital versus analog operation is that in digital mode, the audio source being picked up doesn't have to go through additional analog converters to be printed to the video. This allows for cleaner audio recordings. If digital audio is not available on your camera, the analog connection will still produce quality audio recordings.
