Is there any way i can have both my external monitor and dslr monitor be displayed? Because whenenver i plug into my external monitor my dslr monitor turns off and i cant use auto focus using the screen, i want to record as well as im using it for filming not live streaming.

Negative. All of the entry level cameras contain only one set video output electronics. The signal is sent to the rear LCS, but gets re-routed to the HDMI output when you connect a cable.

It is only the high end cameras that have the dual sets of video electronics that allow for it.
