Does Canon Powershot SX60 HS have "phantom power" for certain external Microphones?

Hi guys,

I am looking to purchase a Canon Powershot SX60 HS but also want to purchase a external Rode directional Microphone to clip on top for extra sound quality/control. But I am still unsure whether they are compatible. I know the mic jack input is 3.5mm and that is compatible with the most of the Rode shotgun Mics, but I am still unsure about whether the camera needs "Phantom Power" to relay more energy to the microphone?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Scott
