live video image upside down

Kirk5475 — Thu, 13 Feb 2014 17:56:33 GMT

I have a Canon 600D, T3i and I am trying to use the Live HD Video with a non-Canon lens and viewing on a 23" hd Monitor. The image is reversed and even when I change the settings on the camera to "flip" the image, it will not do it. I have a friend who has the same camera and lens he does not have this issue. Is there something I can do to resolve this?

"I have a friend who has the same camera and lens he does not have this issue."

Not thinking any more than that statement, I would say it is the monitor and not the camera and lens!

Thanks, but we use different monitors. I have no issues here.

If he places an object in the bottom right corner of the FOV, it shows up upside down in the top left corner. ie, placing a pencil (like an arrow) under the lens on the bottom right side pointing up, it shows up in the top left corner pointing down. There s no monitor control to flip the image, but there is with the T3i. It has a built-in 3" screen that can flip over. This setting keeps the image erect on the view screen and it has a selection to do the same with a monitor as well. I have this setting turned on, and I'm not having his issue.
