Hello all
I am not sure if we are aware that we can use external LCD screen for shooting with K-5.
Manual doesn't discuss anything about this, the only closely related chapter speaks only about connecting K-5 to AV-system.
But it is possible to connect an HDMI screen to K-5 and see the very same information you can see from back LCD screen.
I tested this with HDMI cable having mini-HDMI coupling for camera and normal HDMI coupling for monitor, and by pressing the LV button all the back LCD information appeared to the big LCD screen.
After verifying this functionality I ordered a mini 7" LCd screen from
LILLIPUT 619AH Small 7'' HD Monitor, LILLIPUT 619AH On-Camera HD Monitor : COOLLCD.com
Courier company official called me yesterday that this LCD will arrive within few days. Lets see if this gadget helps me in the problems of taking very low level pictures.
