SONY ECMHGZ1 GUN ZOOM MICROPHONE FOR ACTIVE INTERFACE SHOE

GUN ZOOM MIC FOR HANDYCAM ECMHGZ1
Powered directly from and controlled through the Active Interface Shoe (a feature of many step up Handycam models), this microphone picks up sound in whichever direction you point it.
The ECMHGZ1 is equipped with two recording modes ZOOM MIC mode and GUN MIC mode.
Filiming in ZOOM MIC Mode:?As the camera zooms in, sound from the Handycam built-in microphone and the gun-zoom microphone are mixed together.?When taking a wide-angle shot in ZOOM MIC mode, this produces a uniform sound recording.?When you zoom-in with the camera, the sound also focuses on your target for a clear recording.
Filming in GUN MIC Mode:?Using this mode the Handycam built-in microphone is turned off, so only the gun-zoom microphone records sound.?Aiming at distant subjects and recording their sound is possible in this mode.
Compatible with: Any Handycam model featuring an Active Interface Shoe.
