You mentioned running a usb cable from a laptop to the 5D to get another image off the camera....can you explain this a little more. I tried this briefly with no luck earlier....although i'm quite unskilled at tech stuff :) thanks for your time Hi, a few months ago i asked if you could daisy chain this monitor to another.

It is a feature rich monitor so go for it! Hi Zezar,

Since the monitor is great, I think I would recommend using it with any video camera. It is a feature rich monitor so go for it!

Yes, I did have to make some special setting changes on the monitor. Since the monitor was just given to us as a demo unit I don't have it anymore to give you the settings. Also, when you press record the aspect ratio does change because the 5D mark II changes its output aspect ratio. It is a fault of the camera, not the monitor... you will experience this with any monitor you use with the 5D mark II. My preference is to set the monitor so that while recording the aspect ratio is correct and while not recording it is squeezed. Victor, I hope this helps you too. If you guys have any other questions please let me know. Hi Kin!

We have gone through all the settings on the monitor and we can't get the full screen aspect ratio like you have demonstrated in your video. Also it switches when we hit record and it seems either squeezed or stretched. Is there something in the 5D's menu i am overlooking? thanks I am having the same problem as Kin Artos is.

My monitor in to the canon 5d doesn't fit full screen mode. I change all the setting, full screen and stuff. Also when you are in "stand bye" or when I push the record botton, change format on the monitor. Any suggestion ? Thanks Hi Lan, did you had any problem about the aspect ratio ?

One way to do this is to use a computer to connect via USB to the camera. This allows you to have a display on the camera and one on a computer! We did this the other day when we shot something that the actors needed to see what they were doing while we were shooting. I’m not sure…

With the monitor do you have to use a loupe or some types of visual magnification to pin point the focus on the screen. I have the 7D and the 3" screen in the back is very hard for me to do a narrow DOF. To get that hair thin focus, I have to use a 4x loupe. I just want to know how the pros are doing it. Thanks.
