The full brunt of the breeze is projected into both microphones and we thought the results were quite strong considering there’s no windshield housed on the mics. The microphones can also 'zoom' in on the source of the sound that you want to record to bypass unwanted noise or record from distance.

By fine-tuning the recording level to match the volume of the audio source, you can capture high-quality music recordings that make the most of the dynamic range. Performance is good, supported by a logical control layout and some intelligent features, including battery recharging via the built-in USB connector – no cable required.

If the input level surpasses the maximum recording level, the Limiter will then compress the peak level. The microphones sit above the front of the camera body, rather than above the lens, so won’t be too close to the speaker when used handheld for vlogging.

The new zoom microphone mode adjusts the recording level higher according to the zoom, while the manual recording level settings and limiter function allow you to fine-tune the recording level to suit your needs. The most important buttons on the front of the device are the left large one with a white square to stop and the right red circle that initiates recording.
