From the Manufacturer
CLM-V55 gives big, high-resolution view of video footage
Sony CLM-V55 Feature Highlights:
- A new clip-on LCD monitor from Sony gives DSLR camera owners a bigger, better view of their footage while shooting HD video.
- The CLM-V55 is a portable video monitor featuring a high-resolution WVGA (800 x 480) 5-inch LCD panel. Attaching easily to most Interchangeable Lens Digital cameras and compatible HD camcorders via the supplied adaptor, it displays video footage during shooting/playback with excellent clarity and a wide viewing angle.
- The clip-on screen tilts and swivels to any angle for comfortable framing in any position – even self-shooting when you're in the picture.
- The CLM-V55 is loaded with pro-style features to help photo enthusiasts and videographers shoot high-quality HD video footage with their Interchangeable Lens Digital camera.
- Pixel magnification mode assists with accurate focus confirmation, giving an enlarged pixel-perfect view of a selected portion of the Full HD image. It's complemented by a colour peaking function that highlights the edges of accurately-focused areas of the video image.
- An intuitive control wheel allows quick, positive adjustment of a wide range of monitor settings without interrupting shooting. Adjustable parameters include aspect ratio (16:9/4:3), volume, brightness, contrast, colour tone (phase), colour temp and auto dimmer. On-screen markers aid precise framing by giving precise indication of a TV's 16:9 or 4:3 actual display area. The LCD monitor's on-board mono speaker is complemented by a headphone jack for accurate audio monitoring during shooting.
- The CLM-V55 attaches easily to a wide range of Interchangeable Lens Digital cameras from Sony and other manufacturers that support HD video shooting. The supplied adaptor simplifies mounting on any camera or HD camcorder that features an auto-lock accessory shoe or ISO shoe. Signal connection from camera to monitor is via the supplied HDMI cable, while power can be supplied using a battery pack or AC adaptor (both optional). The CLM-V55 comes with a detachable LCD hood for more comfortable viewing when shooting outdoors in bright sunlight.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I was able to visually calibrate and get good color and contrast quickly. The presets of 9300K, 7200K and 6500K are readily tweeked with the Color tone (Phase), brightness, contrast and backlight adjustments. Popping in and out of the menu for these is quick and deliberate. There were no surprises reviewing footage on a fully calibrated editing monitor.
Peaking works like it should and if your res is 800X480 or higher you can go 1:1 and check focus at the center of the image quite effectively.
The preset 16:9 or 4:3 guides can be set at 80% or 90% to allow plenty of safety.
The pop up hood is sweet. It gives good shading in the full sun while never limiting a quick glance from off center. It snaps back down easily and becomes a good travel protection. The included soft cloth drawstring bag can easily hold the CLM-V55 with the hood and a battery attached.
The Auto-Lock shoe mount swivels and tilts easily with a good amount of resistance to keep it right where you put it, no creeping or sagging after you take your hand off. It's light and easy to work handheld with the CLM-V55 on top of the 5DII and 7D.
Battery life is very good. I ran it for a couple of hours and popped the battery back in the charger where it fully recharged in about an hour. Batteries are light and cheap so I don't feel a need to tether it to another battery system.
The included mini-HDMI to HDMI cable feels very solid and has a just the right amount of flexibility so that it stays put.
SONY has brought a great little 5" display to the market at a competitive price.
It offers "Peaking" support for both DSLR and compatible Camcorder models(mostly a feature for DSLRs really), it features both 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios with variable viewing ratios if you want smaller viewing angles such as(4:3,90%,80% 16:9,90%,80%). It also features color temp control for 9300k, 7200k, and 6500k depending upon your settings to match the brightness and color ratio of whats displayed on the camcorders LCD screen. You can also zoom into scenes and objects on the monitor via the click wheel without having to manually zoom in from the camera.
It has a handy, folding hood shade that can be removed from the monitor that offers a view in bright sunlight. Much easier when the monitor has the shade on than looking at the LCD screen on the camera which can be washed out by sunlight and make you lose your shot. Place it onto a shooting grip and filming with the monitor is a dream when compared to viewing the LCD. It just feels more natural and you take out that struggle of dealing with shooting in bright sunlight.
It also has two interchangable screw mounts. One designed for DSLR docking slots, and one flat shoe mount for shooting grips or camera brackets. It comes with a small mini HDMI cable, has a headphone jack for audio monitoring, and does support a DC in port if your recording in a studio setting without having to rely on a battery.
Overall, I really like it. Its perfect for either photographers or videographers, DSRL's or Camcorder. If you want to add a little more stability and are going for a professional flaire, a monitor is a must. It really does change the dynamic of your filming when you have an increased view and closer detail of whats in front of you. Ive filmed a few things with it, and I pay much more attentions to what im doing rather than relying on the camcorder LCD, and sometimes I miss stuff that I wish I could have gone back and gotten into frame. The monitor definately takes care of that issue for me now. I really suggest it if you have the money, it is expensive since its pretty much a condensed HDTV monitor you can back away in your camera bag. But for all it can do, I have not regretted purchasing it.
For hand held still photography, the display can be rotated to lie parallel to the lens. It does not have to stand vertically as in the photos of the gear. However, with it vertical or flat and parallel to the lens, it did not get in the way of shooting. I soon got used to it. One drawback, to fill the 5" screen when mounted on Nikon D300s, I have to press the the D300s enlarge button once. You can use the D300s enlarge button to full extent if you wish (13x) but to fill the screen you need to push it once.
Anything you can display on the D300s rear screen is displayed on the Sony 5" screen but not as the same time. It is one or the other. The 5" screen improves using live view on the D300s.
Was I able to assess photos more easily and quicker than on the 3" screen? Definitely!
I also used the 5" screen with the D300s on a tripod. I am pleased with how it works in both the landscape and portrait mode on a tripod. I do a lot of portrait shots using a tripod, much more than landscape.
Construction is Sony quality.
I am happy with the purchase. Any questions, just ask, I will see if I can answer them.

私が悪いんですか、SONY さん。HDMIのタイプD(マイクロHDMI?)を別売で買えと別のアクセサリーカタログに小さく載ってましたけど、知るのに3日かかりました。ほんとに返品しようと思いました。
