Attaching the Wind Screen to the Microphone
This has the effect of reducing noise from wind, etc.
Caution
Do not pull on or wash the wind screen, as fibers can easily come out due to the
material it is made from. A loss of fibers causes a reduction in the noise reduction
effect of the wind screen.
Do not use or store the wind screen in a high-temperature location, such as inside
a car under the hot sun. Doing so will cause the base material to harden and the
fibers to wither.
Take care to ensure that fibers that come out of the wind screen do not enter the
camera.
