Compatible cameras
The wireless/streaming microphone ECM-S1 is compatible with a camera that has a Multi Interface
Shoe such as a Sony Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera.
- Even if your camera has a Multi Interface Shoe, you may be unable to use it with this unit or some
functions may not work.
- The receiver and the microphone are factory-set to communicate with each other. Therefore,
operations usually needed for Bluetooth devices such as pairing and passkey entry are not
necessary. With any Bluetooth device other than the receiver and the microphone, on the other
hand, communication is not possible.
For camera models compatible with this unit, view here. (Another window will open.)
