Just finished my latest Video, this time i´m showing you how to upload NON-Sony Apps to your Sony Cameras + how to get UNLIMITED Videorecording time! Please take your time and watch the complete Video if you want to try this out on your camera. Please keep in mind i´m not involved in this hack or in these apps and so i´m not responsible if something goes wrong with your camera. Have a look what this "Hack" could mean for Sony users! http://www.dsphotoblog.com/?p=1377

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!
