Usually Sony provides power for their electret series of microphones and places it right next to the mini-socket for the external microphone. The power socket (green in color) will supply the 3VDC required for those microphones.
The Sony electret microphones sell for around $80 (list around $120 I think) and these are quite good microphones within their limits. I once recorded a string quartet with one of the stereo electrets by placing the microphone in the center of the group, placing a hairy wind muff on it (the wedding was outside) and feeding the output into my PC-110 backup camera. The members of the Quartet thought the recording made that way sounded better than the recordings they made in a studio for their latest CD.
