Q: 1. I have a RX0 M2, I would like to get this mic to plug-in with it. This camera doesn't have the hit show. Do this mic need to be powered or only with the Jack cable the mic will have enough to get the electricity needed for the mic?

A: Yes, the Sony ECM-G1 Ultracompact Camera-Mount Vlogger Shotgun Microphone is compatible for use with and able to be powered by the microphone input connection on the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX0 II Digital Camera.

Q: 2. Will this microphone work with the Blackmagic Pocket 4k Cinema Camera?

A: Yes, fully compatible.

Q: 3. Would this mic work on a Canon EOS Rebel T3i 600D?

A: Yes

Q: 4. I get that the digital is compatible with only a couple of cameras but works in analog for other cameras with multi-interface shoe. But what exactly do I lose on analog? Is the sound quality different and do the directional patterns change?

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.

Q: 5. I am interested in this microphone. Is there a way to connect Multi Interface Shoe with a cable so that I can use this microphone on a boom in our studio (but still be connected via the cable to the camera)?

A: No, the ECM-B1M is designed specifically for cable-free connection with Sony's Multi-Interface Shoe. It only works when used while attached to the camera. At this time there is no accessory available that would allow the mic to be used off-camera.

Q: 6. Does this override the 3.5 mm jack input on the A7S III or can you use both at the same time?
