The LS-P5 can not only be used as a stand-alone audio recorder but can also be connected as an external microphone to mirrorless OM SYSTEM cameras with an external microphone input using special accessories, such as the optional KA-335 3.5mm audio cable. With the optional SM2 Shock Mount, the audio recorder can be attached to the hot shoe of the camera, thanks to which the operating noise and possible vibrations of the machine can be effectively filtered out when recording the audio material. The optional WJ-2 wind deflector, which eliminates wind noise, can be an indispensable accessory for outdoor recordings. In addition, if we use the LS-P5 sound recorder to record sounds with the camera, the sound material can be available as a high-quality original sound source in PCM format, which can later be incorporated into the edited film during video editing work on a computer. The Slate Tone and Test Tone functions make it easier to edit the sound of videos.
