Canon DM-E1D Overview

Dedicated to select Canon cameras featuring a Multi-Function Shoe, the DM-E1D Stereo Microphone is a compact external microphone offering a range of directional control for improved audio quality when recording videos. This dedicated mic utilizes the Multi-Function Shoe to provide power and a digital connection, meaning no batteries or cabled connections are required for use. The streamlined design carries over to settings control, too, with the mic solely featuring a Menu button to bring up a menu on the connected camera for making adjustments and settings changes.

Compatible with Canon cameras featuring a Multi-Function Shoe, this mic digitally connects to the camera with this connection and also receives power from it; no batteries or connection cables required.
Digital connection greatly reduces buzzing or unwanted noise in audio recordings.
Three separate pickup settings are available to suit a variety of shooting needs:
  • Shotgun is a focused recording mode that picks up a narrow band of sound in front of the camera, making it suitable for dialogues, single musical instruments, or other specific subjects.
  • 90° stereo recording mode is suitable for a single subject and adds some audio context to the sides to suit recording small groups of people.
  • 120° stereo recording mode offers a wider angle of sound that is ideal for recording larger groups in more expansive areas, such as a band on stage or an outdoor party.
Menu button works in conjunction with the camera's own menu system, and microphone settings adjustments can be made via the camera interface.
The included windscreen helps to reduce peripheral sound from wind or other ambient sounds for cleaner, more focused playback.

Canon DM-E1D Reviews

Such a great mic to carry

By Gadsden
Rated 5 out of 5

This is such a nice mic to carry in your bag. If you primarily take photos this is such an easy mic to quickly slap on when it's time to take some video. I'm sure you can get better quality audio for a lower price, but the convenience is unbeatable. I spent 10 days at a Scottish festival mostly taking photos, but when I did take some video with this mic it performed above expectations for everything from close-up chats to bagpipe bands without any clipping or other issues. I do think I was happiest with the results between 2 feet and 20 feet, for what it's worth. If the convenience is worth the price to you, I definitely recommend this mic.

Expensive, but worth every cen

Will this work with the Canon R5 and R6 ?
Asked by: Joel
The Canon DM-E1D Stereo Microphone is a brand new mic that is not yet in stock and the information available at this time is limited. The DM-E1D uses a cable-free and battery-free connection to attach to select Canon cameras equipped with Canon's new Multi-Function Shoe, which is a standard feature on the new EOS R3 Mirrorless Digital Camera. The R5 and R6 models have a conventional hot shoe, not the Multi-Function Shoe. The wired Canon DM-E1 Directional Microphone (B&H # CADME1) is compatible with the R5 and R6 cameras.
