Meanwhile, they X/Y microphone lay-out of the iQ6 allows you to capture side from the centre and the sides. Finally, the iQ5 allows you to use 90-degree, 120-degree, or M-S stereo recording.

Both the iQ6 and the iQ7 feature an analogy style gain wheel for adjustment of microphone

Nikon has released the D4S 1.30 and the D750 1.10 firmware which features new control options for external recorders using the Atomos Open Protocol. Likewise, the updated firmware for the D750 has a vibration reduction function to address glitches wherein even VR lenses can’t contain image shake.
