IMPORTANT
• Do not touch the microphone or wind shield while recording as this will cause noise to be
recorded.
• Do not change the position of the directivity switch while recording as this may cause the
switch's noise or electrical noise to be recorded.
• Using the microphone close to high-voltage objects or objects that emit strong electromagnetic
fields (high-voltage lines, electrical towers, some cellular phones, etc.) may cause noise to be
recorded.
• If another microphone is connected to the camcorder's microphone terminal while the DM-1 00 is
attached, sound will be picked up by both microphones, which will affect the recording.
• When carrying the camcorder with the microphone attached, be sure to support the camera
body. Never carry the camera by the microphone.
• Ensure that no foreign material such as metal fragments, gets inside the camcorder's mini
Advanced Shoe.
• The joint at the bottom of this microphone (0) is designed to absorb shocks in order to prevent
the recording of noise caused by vibration. Do not subject the microphone to excessive force as
this may cause damage. Be careful not to allow your fingers to get pinched by the gap
immediately above the shoe lock (8).
• Do not use excessive force when attaching/removing the microphone as this may deform the
plug or bottom of the microphone.
• Test the microphone by speaking into it. Do not tap the microphone or blow into it.
• Do not drop or jolt the microphone. This may damage the microphone or impair its performance.
Handle the microphone carefully.
• Do not disassemble or touch the interior parts of the microphone. Consult your dealer or a
Canon Service Center if problems occur.
• Do not use or leave the microphone in hot, humid places such as inside a car in hot weather or in
direct sunlight.
• Do not store the camcorder with the microphone attached.
Maintenance
• Clean the microphone by dusting it lightly with a soft, dry cloth. Never use thinner, benzene,
alcohol or other volatile cleaners or solvents.
• The microphone will not work properly if the terminals are dirty. Check them before use, and
wipe them with a dry cloth if necessary.
• Be careful when handling the wind shield as the material comes off easily. It cannot be washed
so if it gets wet, pat it with a soft cloth and let it dry naturally.
