Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an external microphone for converting sound into an electric signal and outputting it, and more particularly to an external microphone for attaching to a camera or the like for recording. Conventionally, an external microphone of this type (hereinafter referred to as an external microphone) has a conventional external microphone as shown in FIG. 6 in a video camera or an electronic still camera capable of simultaneously recording audio and video. As shown in a perspective view of an example of a video camera, it was attached and held on an accessory shoe for attaching an external microphone. In the figure, lla is a video camera, 4a is an external microphone, 15 is an accessory shoe for microphone attachment on the camera side, and 5 is a cord for connecting the audio input terminals of the external microphone 4a and the camera 11a. . (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the conventional example as described above, the accessory shoe 9 for an electronic still camera capable of recording audio as well as video, for example, as shown in the three views of FIG. If the external microphone 4a is attached to the accessory shoe 9 for attaching the strobe, the strobe is attached if the external microphone 4a is attached to the accessory shoe 9 when the electric microphone 10 has the electrical contact 10 (showing the contact on the camera side) for exchanging information between the strobe and the camera. However, there is a drawback in that it is impossible to take flash photography. The present invention has been made focusing on the problems of the external microphone for this type of camera according to the prior art as described above, and it is possible to simultaneously perform strobe photography while the external microphone is attached to the camera. The purpose is to provide an external microphone. [Means for Solving the Problems] Therefore, in the present invention, an accessory shoe for attaching a strobe having an external microphone and a contact for exchanging information between the strobe and the camera, and an accessory for attaching a strobe on the camera side The attachment for attaching to the shoe is intended to 01-05-2019 1 achieve the above-mentioned purpose by configuring the members together. [Operation] According to the configuration of the present invention as described above, it becomes possible to attach a strobe and simultaneously perform strobe photography while the external microphone is attached to the camera. EXAMPLES The present invention will be described below based on examples. 1 to 4 show an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 1 is a partially broken sectional side view of an external microphone and a camera connection portion, and FIG. FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the external microphone according to the embodiment with a strobe attached to the camera with the external microphone of FIG. 1; (Arrangement) FIG. 1 is a drawing showing the best features of the present invention, in which 11 is a camera body, 4 is an external microphone, and 276 is for strobes disposed on the upper and lower portions of the external microphone 4, respectively. Attachment to the accessory shoe / camera side accessory shoe 9 is a member. 1: Dimming and tuning in the accessory shoe 2. A strobe contact 3 for exchanging various information such as charging completion with the camera 11 is for electrically connecting the contact 1 with a member 7 in pressure contact with the contact 10 of the accessory shoe 9 on the camera 11 side. The lead wire 5 is a cord for connecting the voice input terminals of the external microphone 4 and the camera 11, the attachment 7 is disposed in the plate 6, and the contact shoe 1 of the accessory shoe 9 on the camera 11 side Similarly, a member for pressure contact with the contact 10 for strobes, and 8 is a compression coil spring for holding the member 7 in pressure contact. (Operation / Function) When the external microphone 4 is attached to the camera-side accessory shoe 9 by inserting the member 6 into the camera-side accessory shoe 9 as shown in FIG. The member 7 is pushed by the bottom surface of the accessory shoe 9 of the camera 11, temporarily retracts against the spring 8, and comes into pressure contact with the contact 10 of the accessory 9 on the camera 11 side when mounting is completed. By the above operation, the strobe contact 1 on the external microphone 4 side and the strobe contact 10 on the camera body 11 side are electrically connected. When a strobe is attached to the accessory shoe 2, the state shown in FIG. 4 is obtained. At this time, the strobe and the camera 11 can be taken with the external microphone 4 attached as they are electrically connected. It becomes. [Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, the external microphone has an accessory shoe having a contact for exchanging information with the strobe and a mounting member for attaching the accessory shoe to the accessory shoe for the strobe on the camera side. With the electronic still camera or the like, it has become possible to take a strobe picture while an external microphone for sound recording is attached to an accessory shoe.
