Compatible cameras

The Wireless Microphone ECM-W2BT (referred to below as “this unit”) is compatible with a camera

that has a Multi Interface Shoe such as a Sony Interchangeable Lens Digital Camera (referred to

below as “camera”).

- Even if your camera has a Multi Interface Shoe, you may be unable to use it with this unit or some

functions may not work.

- The receiver and the microphone are factory-set to communicate with each other. Therefore,

operations usually needed for Bluetooth devices such as pairing and passkey input are not

necessary. Communication is not possible with a receiver and microphone not sold as a pair,

multiple microphones, or any other Bluetooth device such as a smartphone, computer, etc.

For camera models compatible with this unit, view here. (Another window will open.)
