Good Morning. I have a Canon T7i camera, I bought a Boya M1 Lapel microphone to connect to the camera, when connecting I noticed that the microphone did not capture the voice. I read on several blogs that it was due to the cable that was not compatible, so I bought an adapter ), when connecting to the camera the problem persists. I noticed that a MIC OFF signal appears on the camera's display. See image:

I put the camera in manual mode and tried several ways to activate the external microphone and I can't activate it. In the Main Menu (manual mode), I only have these sound options:

NOTE: This external microphone lock happens with all the microphones that I tested, that is, the problem is not in the microphone but in the camera configuration. Can you help me to activate the external microphone?

Thanks. Juliéte L. Pedrotti
