Hi I noticed that when I change a battery when filming with my A7Sii and using the Blackmagic Design Video Assist 4K Monitor via HDMI, the camera resolution changes from XAVC S 1080p to 4K. Not only that but with huge consequences to me and my client, the HDMI settings switch from Memory Card and HDMI to HDMI only. This means that when you press the record button on the camera, it doesn't record internally any more. It does say REC on the back monitor but in white and not red. Unfortunately I didn't notice the change in colour or the fact that the Monitor had switched to full frame. So the event I was filming didn't actually get filmed in part, possibly costing me a client. When I returned after the shoot, I was able to recreate it as shown here - https://youtu.be/00mFIb77LKE. Has anyone else had this problem? I posted a picture of my other HDMI settings should anyone think that this may have a bearing on my issue. Thanks John

Hello Guys, I've got a problem with my a6300. I tried to connect it with an external monitor, but it always says: No HDMI Signal. I changed the HDMI cable, but the result was the same. I also tried different cameras and all of them are working, except the a6300. So I got my hands on to another monitor. It's a bit better here, I can see the camera options and the live view but the picture on the screen is pink, unusable for work. I tried different cameras again and they all worked. I also connected the a6300 to the monitor of my computer and it worked perfectly. Could you please help me?

We were getting 60 frames/second from the HDMI output, but the frames were in identical pairs, so really 30fps. Turns out, the camera must be set to AVCHD rather than MP4 encoding, even if recording to SD card is not in use (only HDMI output, which is not encoded). Just posting so others can search.
