EOS R50 External microphone compatibility and power needs

[jonasnokland]

Can i use external microphones, for example Deity V-Mic D4 Mini with my Canon R50? It is my understanding that the mic uses power from the 3.5mm jack. Does the R50 supply power thru this port or do i need a microphone with built in power?

jonasnokland,

I don't think it matters.

If you look up "external microphones for a Canon R50", there are several brands that say "no batteries needed" the microphone gets its power from the microphone jack on your camera.
