I recently purchased a Sony A7RIII I already only A6000 and a Sony A7 And when I hook my H DMI cable to a monitor from the a 6000 and that a 7 the monitor automatically works now with the A7R3 that is not the case I have got a to work with the Sony TV playing back movies from the camera but I have yet to get it to work directly showing what the lens sees is there a setting that I do not have set please help I hope my hdmi mini port is not messed up

Hi I have just place an external monitor on my A7ii for filming. It works like a charm and with the battery grip it's really really steady. Since i'm using a vintage Nikon lens I am counting on using Peak Level to focus, but I'm not seeing this on the monitor. Does anybody know if I can get that to show on the MustHD ext monitor?

Here's a way to externally monitor while using touch focus! Put the camera in 4K video mode. Save the setting to Memory recall 2. Plug in an external monitor. Start recording first. This does not work before recording. Touch the camera monitor screen (on the camera) to focus where you want. (must be in autofocus mode) This only works in 4K, video mode and you can see the focus brackets where it will focus, just not the image itself. That will be on the external monitor. You can also set the focus speed and sensitivity to your liking in menu 2/1/9 and 2/2/9. Focus may "hunt" at the end of each touch without adequate light, so set to slow in 2/1/9. I tried to attach small file-size SD version of a rack focus just now but the software says "Error You aren't permitted to upload this kind of file" I found this hack after reading on the web that you can also see the video ISO setting when set to the same memory mode. (4K only) It will show what the ISO will be for the auto setting in video mode if you touch the AEL lock button before recording. This is handy to predict whether you're going to have too much noise in the shadows, especially if you're recording in a bright environment where you can't easily see the monitor. (I think 800 ISO is the minimum allowed for 4K) What other hacks will MR2 do? Let me know what you find!

Hey guys, first post. I have an a6300, and I just aquired an Atomos Ninja Flame. I use the a6300 on a Movi M5 quite a bit, and the monitor helps with shot framing. I have been messing around with the best presets for outputting to the monitor, becuase I'm using that to record everything now (except 120p, a6300 doesnt hdmi out that) I seem to only be able to output 4k when im in movie mode, which is a bit frustrating. Is this just the way it is, or is there some small setting I'm missing? Thanks in advance, Evan
