Bought the VMP+ about a week ago ,and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong. Your video helped. Cheers

[@toshibakid89]

I bought the microphone and that's what I did, and I pressed the buttons for some secrets combinations and turned off the microphone :) . Very useful video. Thank you.

[@KymIllman]

Thats why the internet is great. I’m on a job and was frustrated. Now I am happy.

[@ScottGerke]

Thanks for the help!!! This feature is exactly why I bought the mic :)

[@ADGRUPA]

Thanks man!

[@WildlifeBirdsUK]

👍 #163 I must be the only one where what you showed works on the mic but not with the camera? I followed your video and got the single flashing light to indicate the auto power *should* then work with the camera switching off and on.... but it doesn't. *Can anyone suggest anything*? I am using a Nikon Coolpix P1000.

[@PapaPepper]

Same here... worked great for years with a Canon Rebel T7i, but must have switched it off accidentally. The lights flash like in this video, but it still won't work with the camera

[@enriquemartin8655]

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you so much. I was returning it to B&H tomorrow. as defective.

[@DarkwarriorrRises]

I had the same problem and finally found the solution, nice video, thanks

[@BabyBackManiac]

I can’t get this to work with C200. It works great with my DSLR but it’s like the C 200 isn’t sending the signal to turn it on. Any suggestions?

[@YoSoyAngel]

[@Salmonkalmon]

I did exactly what you said and its still not turning on automatically when I turn on my sony a7siii, it use to be working perfectly so i dont understand why its not anymore, any additional help would be greatly appreciated!

[@SagarHarpude]

thanks buddy it help me

[@TotallyExposed]

You're welcome!

[@femfiol]

Hi there, I have a Canon 700D and when I turn on the camera, the microphone doesn't turn off automatically. I tried your tip and I can see the green light's but still it doesn't do it. Do you have your microphone in the camera or the camera on? Or is it maybe because my camera is an older type?

[@PapaPepper]

Same with me.... can't get it to work

[@femfiol]

@@PapaPepper Meanwhile I have Canon 6D Mark II and there it works. I suppose it's because it's a newer model.

[@PapaPepper]

@@femfiol i tried for quite a while earlier and just gave up. It used to work, suddenly stopped, now no matter what I try it still won't work... such is life

[@Bonefoot]

Cheers.

[@mishkasidlin9920]

the reason someone may want to use this setting, at least me personally, is because my camera (GoPro) has a file limit of 4gb and will "turn off/on again" after that file limit is reached. it's instantaneous. It's a setting that can't be changed for some reason and since the camera restarts so quickly, the mic doesn't catch it and doesn't turn back on.

[@yolworld]

yes!! Thanks! ♥

[@TheOxleys]

Life saver. Frustratingly, it just appeared to stop auto powering on or off after I hadn’t used it for a while.

[@thelittlethings5891]

Solution at 1:00
Press high pass and power at same time

[@VFXInterface]

❤️

[@cyberbeatforethiopian7074]

use it your audio is not good

[@thomasward3717]

Hahaha yeah it’s shocking which is ironic

[@badluckclubb]

The reason you would want to disable it.. is when your stupid headphone jack stops working on your sony and only one channel works and it will randomly power off while recording.

[@AleksandrTamm]

Answer is at 1.00. Before just meaningless and brainless talkin about nothing. u r wlcm

[@rodrigohn]

Thanks dude!!
