Q: 8. 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: 9. Does the zoom feature of the mic (digitally sliding between cardiod and shotgun modes, in proportion to the optical zoom position) work for the Sony A7iii? I'm worried it only works with Sony camcorders since they have fly-by-wire optical zoom.

A: No there is no optical syncing with the cameras lens at all.

Q: 10. will this mic work on the Panasonic hc v700 and the canon HF G40?
