captain_astronaut Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Is it possible to connect my 5D MIII to my computer's Dell 27" monitor to use as a viewing monitor for video recording? I know I could go through the computer and use the EOS tools, but I was thinking of just using the monitor as a viewing station. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightsFan Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Does the monitor have hdmi input? Is the camera running the latest firmware, or magic lantern? If both of those are a yes, it will probably work. The only issue would be if somehow the monitor doesnt support any of the frame rates or resolutions the camera outputs. We would need to look at your specific model to know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captain_astronaut Posted January 22, 2019 Author Share Posted January 22, 2019 Yeah, the monitor has HDMI, and I believe the camera has the latest firmware (I'm usually on top of that), but I can also try the latest Magic Lantern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightsFan Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Have you tried plugging the camera into the monitor? Do you get an image? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
