When using ECM-B10 with a Sony Mirrorless camera with a MI shoe, the microphone will digitally convert the analog signal to the microphone before sending it to the camera via the MI shoe. Sony says it uses technology ‘proprietary algorithms [to] Enables instruction as well as noise reduction. ‘ The MI interface also provides all the power the microphone needs, which means there’s no need to charge and save separate batteries when using compatible cameras.
