Nikon ME-D10 Overview

Add sharp audio capture to your ZR cinema camera recordings with the ME-D10 Shotgun Microphone from Nikon. This compact shotgun mic mounts onto the digital accessory shoe on top of the ZR camera to input audio, and the hot shoe also provides power to the mic. It is designed to record 48 kHz/24-bit sampling as well as professional-quality 48 kHz/32-bit float.

The intelligent mic features two modes that you can switch between: PURE mode provides standard capture at 40 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response without filtering, and FOCUS mode provides a 90 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response that is designed to pick up human voices more clearly. There is also a switch to change the pickup pattern from front cardioid, to rear cardioid, or to omnidirectional. A status LED on the front and back indicates when the mic is in use, and it can be adjusted between high beam, low beam, and off.

Can i use this ME-D10 on NIkon to record sound and use the 3.5mm jack on the side of the ZR to jam timecode?
Asked by: GBaus
According to page 239 in the manual for the Nikon ZR, in the event that the digital accessory shoe and the 3.5mm mic input are used, the camera will prioritize the 3.5mm mic input. Therefore, both inputs cannot be used at the same time. You can only either use the Nikon ME-D10 Shotgun Microphone for ZR, or the 3.5mm mic input on the Nikon ZR. https://bhpho.to/4cENHU7
