EOS R50 external monitor for video

[DavidF1]

Is it possible to use an external monitor to view live video recording on the EOS R50. I can play back images and see the menu options on the external monitor but as soon as I start recording the HDMI output is lost.

Thanks

David,

One way to do that would be to tether your camera to a smartphone or tablet, and using a piece of software like Canon Camera Connect (or EOS Utility in case of a computer) to operate the camera.

IIn those cases, you use your USB port.

If you want to use HDMI, I think you have to send your video to an HDMI capture card.

Read what your manual says about clean HDMI output.

Thanks Steve, I just wanted to use the external monitor whilst filming as it’s a bigger screen. I guess it’s not possible on the R50 using the hdmi output.
