Advanced Accessory Shoe

Simply slide on an accessory, and the shoe transmits power directly from the camcorder. Choose to attach Canon’s DM-50 Directional Stereo Microphone*, the world’s first stereo shotgun mic with high sensitivity and super-directional pick up. Use when recording or dubbing audio. Or, attach the VL-3 Video Light*, which can either stay on continuously or turn on/off automatically in response to changes in the brightness of the shooting situation.
