The LUMIX Digital Shotgun Microphone (DMW‑DMS1) from Panasonic delivers crisp, focused sound with its newly engineered 0.4‑inch large‑diameter microphone array. A floating shock‑mount reduces handling noise, while the windscreen and advanced wind‑noise cancellation ensure natural vocals even in harsh conditions. Six directional modes offer instant flexibility, and 32‑bit float recording captures distortion‑free audio up to 120 dB. Two backup modes protect your takes from accidental settings or let you record ambient sound. Weighing just 0.22 lb, DMS1 draws power and transfers digital audio through the hot shoe—keeping your setup clean and cable‑free. Intuitive switches and adjustable‑brightness buttons make operation easy, even in low light. DMS1 gives creators reliable, adaptable, pristine audio—anywhere the story goes.
