3Menu Function Settings

HDMI output + LCD

Movies displayed on the LCD monitor as they are being recorded can also be displayed from the HDMI output. The default setting is [Mirroring]. Note that the video from the HDMI output will be displayed without the shooting information or masking for indicating image area (output without information overlay: through display). This makes it convenient to record the HDMI output image to a commercially-available external recording device.

If [No mirroring] is set, the movie will be displayed on the LCD monitor, but if there is HDMI output, the LCD monitor will turn off. With this setting, the movie from the HDMI output will also show the shooting information and masking for indicating image area. However, by pressing the <B> button, you can eliminate the information from the output.

If the HDMI movie is output without information, the card’s remaining capacity, battery level, internal temperature increase (p.55) and other indicators will not appear on the HDMI output screen. Be aware of this if [No mirroring] is set. If [Mirroring] is set, you can check these indicators on the LCD monitor.

Audio is not output during HDMI output.

Even if [Mirroring] is set, movies being played back will not be displayed from the HDMI output when the image is played back or menu is displayed. Even if [z4: Movie recording size] is set to H, the HDMI movie will be output in Full HD (1080 60i/50i) with masking for indicating image area. When you stop movie shooting, the HDMI output image will pause (frame stop) while the movie is being recorded to the card. After the recording is completed, the movie will be displayed normally.

Simultaneous output from both HDMI and A/V OUT is not possible. The movie will be output to the cable that was connected to the terminal last. During movie output, nothing will be displayed on the LCD monitor.

The brightness of a movie shot by the camera and that of a recorded HDMI output image on the external recording device may differ depending on the viewing environment.

By pressing the <B> button, you can change the information displayed on the screen.

You can append a time code to the HDMI output image (p.49).
