Originally posted by RonHendriks1966 I rescently bought a 7 inch Field Monitor at the same day that I bought the K-5. It was for some time on my wishing list. I use it for making movieclips, playback and some other things that are not related to my camera. It's basicly a small LCD TV.
I will make another tutorial on using it over the next few weeks.
From the K-5 Firmware suggestions
HDMI output
I would like to have Pentax to make an adjustment to the output true the HDMI cable for using a Field Monitor. At the moment in LiveView its fine, and replaying a movie is also good. But in recording the output is squeesd for making space for the info of the camera-settings and that way it is not handy for turning on the ring on the lens to focus on some other point in the scene.
Here's a little test so you can see what I mean.
Ron, this is very interesting.
Would you please tell us:
1. what LCD TV this is? and what is the cost?
2. what HDMI cabling (specifically) did you use between the camera and the TV?
I can think of at least one application for this set up, apart from video: portrait (studio-like work).
I like the idea of being able to see what's in front of the camera without looking through the viewfinder, in a large scale.
Keep us informed of any further development.
