Canon launches New Digital Microphone and New Timer Remote Controller

Canon has two new accessories designed to give content creators and photographers greater control, convenience and flexibility when capturing content.

The new Canon Microphone DM-E10D offers a simple, cable-free way to upgrade audio quality when presenting to camera.

The new Canon Timer Remote Controller TC-N3 introduces enhanced visibility expanded shooting capabilities for time-lapse and long-exposure photography and extended compatibility with the TC-E3 variant. Both variants of the new Timer Remote Controller (one with N3 terminals, and one with E3 terminals) feature a tripod socket for flexible mounting options and is powered by two AAA batteries. 

Canon Microphone DM-E10D Designed with content creators in mind, the Canon Microphone DM-E10D provides a convenient way to improve audio quality when speaking directly to camera. Its compact, lightweight design makes it an ideal companion for vlogging, live streaming and on-the-go content creation, helping creators capture clearer voice recordings while reducing distractions from surrounding noise.

Featuring a supercardioid directional microphone design, the Canon Microphone DM-E10D focuses on sound in front of the camera, helping keep audiences engaged with the creator’s message. Digital audio transmission via Canon’s Multi-function Shoe provides a cable-free connection, with the microphone powered and controlled directly through compatible cameras. This removes the need for separate batteries, transmitters or receivers, allowing creators to spend less time setting up and more time capturing content.

Weighing approximately 59g and measuring just 53.7mm in length, the Microphone DM-E10D is Canon’s smallest hot shoe microphone, adding minimal bulk to a camera setup. A dedicated MENU button also provides quick access to the camera’s sound recording settings, making it easier to adjust audio configurations while filming.

Canon Timer Remote Controller TC-N3

The Canon Timer Remote Controller TC-N3 offers photographers greater flexibility and precision when capturing time-lapse sequences, long exposures and other carefully timed shots. Designed as the successor to the TC-80N3, the new controller introduces an improved interface and enhanced functionality, making it easier to configure and manage complex shooting sequences.

A larger LCD display, featuring an orange backlight for improved visibility in low-light conditions, makes settings easy to read and adjust, while redesigned buttons and cross-key controls provide intuitive operation. The addition of dedicated power and self-timer/time buttons further simplifies everyday use, supported by an ergonomic design that can be comfortably operated with either hand.

New time-setting functionality allows photographers to specify start and end times, alongside interval and long-exposure timer settings, providing greater control over when and how images are captured. With the ability to programme long shoots, the Canon Timer Remote Controller TC-N3 is particularly suited to astrophotography, time-lapse photography and unattended shooting, helping photographers capture specific moments without needing to remain beside their camera.

By combining intuitive design with practical new capabilities, Canon continues to expand its imaging accessories ecosystem, providing creators and photographers with accessible tools to improve their workflows and achieve more with their photography and video content.

The Canon Microphone DM-E10D and Canon Timer Remote Controller TC-N3/TC-E3 will be available from December 2026.
