Captions “Evolved microphones for evolved cameras” and then “DIGITAL AUDIO CAPTURE” over graphic representing audio signal waveform

Sequence of shots of ECM-B1M and ECM-B10 microphones with captions “ECM-B1M For diverse recording” and “ECM-B10 Compact and versatile”

Caption “Shotgun Microphone with digital signal processing ECM-B10” over shot of ECM-B10 microphone body showing rear panel controls

Caption “Shotgun Microphone for super-directional shooting” over graphic representing large body of conventional microphone; then caption “made compact” over side view of ECM-B10 showing compact size

Side view of ECM-B10 with graphic showing four microphone capsules connected to digital signal processor (DSP) with captions “by digital signal processing” and then “using beamforming technology”

Left front view of camera with ECM-B10 and wind screen attached, with graphic illustrating digital audio transmission from microphone to camera with captions “Digital audio transmission” and then “to record without audio degradation”

Captions “More than just super-directional” and then “Three selectable pickup patterns in one microphone”

Caption “Three selectable pickup patterns” over three diagrams showing different directional sensitivity patterns; left caption “Super-directional”; centre caption “Unidirectional”; right caption “Omnidirectional”

Caption “Super-directional” over diagram showing super-directional sensitivity pattern

Caption “Pick up a focused area in front of the microphone” over shot of user shooting with hand-held camera with ECM-B10 and wind screen attached; then shot of vlogger talking to camera on tripod with ECM-B10 attached; then shot of vlogger cooking in kitchen with camera on shooting grip as tripod with ECM-B10 attached

Caption “suppressing sounds from off-axis and behind the camera” over shot of vlogger shooting selfie with camera hand-held on shooting grip with ECM-B10 and wind screen attached

Split screen; left: captions “Omnidirectional” and “Picks up sounds from all directions” over diagram showing omnidirectional sensitivity pattern and clip of vlogger talking; right: captions “Super-directional” and “Focuses on the voice in front” over diagram showing super-directional sensitivity pattern and same clip, but with significantly less ambient and background noise audible

Caption “Unidirectional” over diagram showing unidirectional sensitivity pattern

Caption “Captures sound from a wide area in front of the camera” over shot of user shooting with gimbal-mounted camera with ECM-B10 and wind screen attached; then diagram showing unidirectional sensitivity pattern and shot of band performing in outdoor space

Caption “Omnidirectional” over diagram showing omnidirectional sensitivity pattern

Captions “Pick up audio equally from all directions” and then “to capture audio from in front and behind the camera” over shot of interview scene with camera with ECM-B10 attached mounted on shooting grip as tripod on low table, interviewer behind camera and interviewee in front of camera

Split screen; left: captions “Super-directional” and “Focuses on the voice in front” over diagram showing super-directional sensitivity pattern and clip from interview, with interviewee voice significantly more prominent than interviewer; right: captions “Omnidirectional” and “Picks up voices from in front and behind equally” over diagram showing omnidirectional sensitivity pattern and same clip from interview, with interviewee and interviewer voices now equally prominent

Caption “For shooting environmental sounds” over shot of user holding camera in woodland next to stream

Split screen; left: captions “Super-directional” and “Focuses on sound in front” over diagram showing super-directional sensitivity pattern and sound of running water; right: captions “Omnidirectional” and “Picks up sounds from the surrounding environment” over same clip but with other sounds (e.g. birdsong) now more evident in addition to running water

Caption “Just one switch to change directivity” over fast-changing sequence of shots of different contexts in which different directivities would likely be appropriate

Caption “Capture sound clearly in any situation”

Caption “Built-in noise suppression” over shot of subject talking to camera

Split screen; left: captions “Noise cut filter OFF” and “Background fan noise is distracting” over shot of subject talking to camera, with some noise audible from a nearby fan; right: captions “Noise-cut filter ON” and “Background fan noise is reduced” over same clip but with fan noise significantly reduced

Caption “Wind-noise reduction” over shot of vlogger shooting selfie with ECM-B10 and wind screen attached to camera hand-held with shooting grip

Split screen; left: captions “Without supplied wind screen” and “Wind noise is captured” over shot of vlogger talking to camera, with wind noise audible; right: captions “With supplied wind screen” and “Wind noise is reduced” over same clip but with wind noise significantly reduced

Caption “Cable-free and battery-free” over shot of user attaching ECM-B10 and wind screen to camera’s Multi Interface (MI) shoe and preparing to shoot

Caption “Dust- and moisture-resistant design*” over shot of user shooting river from low position with camera mounted on gimbal with ECM-B10 and wind screen attached

Caption footnote “*Not guaranteed to be 100% dust- and moisture-proof.”

Caption “The digital shotgun” over reprised shots of vlogger shooting selfie outdoors with ECM-B10 and wind screen attached to camera hand-held with shooting grip; then vlogger indoors talking to camera mounted on tripod with rear view of ECM-B10; then band performing outdoors

Caption “for stunning sound, smaller” over kitchen cooking scene and jug; then outdoor selfie vlogging scene with vlogger urging “Check it out”

Caption “Shotgun Microphone with digital signal processing ECM-B10” over shot of ECM-B10 microphone body showing rear panel controls

Shot of cameras with ECM-B1M and ECM-B10 microphones attached with captions “ECM-B1M For diverse recording” and “ECM-B10 Compact and versatile”
