The black Lectrosonics M152/5P is an omnidirectional lavalier microphone, featuring a wide frequency response that accentuates the presence and character of the human voice. The mic offers a 3.3' cable, terminating in a TA5F connector designed to work with any Lectrosonics transmitter or recorder with a TA5M input.

The M152's frequency response is measured at 20 Hz to 20 kHz with a slight rise around 10 kHz, resulting in a brighter, more "airy" response. A low-frequency roll-off around 50 Hz reduces noise caused by proximity effect and ambience. The omnidirectional polar pattern provides a generous response at both the direct and off-axis sections of the microphone capsule, helping to ensure consistent levels.

• Lectrosonics: Works with current and legacy Lectrosonics transmitter and recorder models equipped with a TA5M connector, including the following: SMWB, SMDWB, LMb, LT, MTCR, SPDR, SMV, SMQV, and DBu (TA5M version).
• The M152/5P can also be used with third-party transmitters that are equipped to supply 1.3 to 10 VDC through a TA5M connector with a Lectrosonics servo-bias wiring configuration.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does it have a S&Q mode that can select variable frame rate from 1 fps to 240 fps?

A: The Sony a7 IV Mirrorless Camera does have a S&Q mode from 1fps to 120fps. There is no option for 240fps.

Q: 2. Is the A7IV compatible with wireless flash? With no flash sync terminal how does the camera communicate with studio strobes?

A: Regarding the Sony a7 IV Mirrorless Camera with Accessories Kit, for a wireless flash, you will need a remote attached to the hot shoe. The remote will communicate with the flash.

Q: 3. Does Eye AF work with any lens? Or does the lens need to be compatible?

A: While it does work with any native auto-focus capable E mount lens, the mileage varies. Generally the Sony lenses perform the best, other options like Tamron, Sigma and Samyang as an example would also work.

Q: 4. Will we have the same amount of focus points and snappiness for real time eye AF in Super 35 4k60p mode like in full sensor read out mode aka 4k24p/30p?

A: The full frame Sony a7 IV Mirrorless Camera (B&H# SOA74) has 759 on-sensor phase detection focus points as well as 425 contrast detection points. They reside in the center 94% of the sensor image area, leaving only a thin border around them without such designated points. However, when shooting in cropped (APS-C/Super 35) mode, the number of such points is about half of those figures. According to the AF algorithm, the camera will choose the appropriate point(s) at which to focus and then use that/those focus point(s) to attain critical focus. In AF-S mode, the additional step of using contrast AF to confirm focus is used to maximize accuracy. . . at the cost of very slightly reducing focus speed. Since cropped mode reduces the number of points from which to choose, it's possible that focus is very slightly faster when shooting like that. . . but from our experience it's just not noticeable as once the point(s) has/have been selected the actual focusing is the same speed. The area that point is in doesn't make it any faster, whether that's in the wider, full frame, or the APS-C/Super 35 middle part of the frame. If focus speed is a concern, be sure to shoot in AF-C and continuous mode with focus speed set at maximum. In video mode, set AF Transition Speed to 7 (i.e. fastest). Relatedly, if you want the focus to jump quickly to new subjects specifically that may be entering the frame then also set AF Subj. Shift Sensitivity to 7. (You won't set the AF Subj. Shift Sensitivity to a high number (such as 7) if you want focus to stay on the current subject of focus for tenaciously.)

Q: 5. What functions are possible with the control wheel that was once used to change the exposure compensation?

A: The right rear dial can be used with the custom settings.

Q: 6. Compared with A7IV and A9, which focus faster? I have the A9, but I like the 3300 pixels of A7iv.

A: The focus speed on the A7iv would be about the same or slightly faster than the A9.

Q: 7. Does this camera have a low pass filter?

A: No, the Sony a7 IV does not have a low-pass filter.

Q: 8. Can I have video save to one SD card while photos save to another?

A: Yes, you may designate one card to store video and another to store photos on the A7 IV.

Q: 9. Does the Sony a7 IV work with Canon 'L' lenses ?

A: Sony A7IV has a Sony E mount so it won't accept Canon lenses. If your Canon lens is EF mount you can use this adapter. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1314043-REG/metabones_mb_ef_e_bt5_canon_ef_e_mount_t.html

Q: 10. Will one be able to down load photos via ethernet cord to your computer?

A: Yes, the Sony A7 IV is compatible with Ethernet connections.
