You can record while outputting the camera images to an external monitor or external recorder connected with an HDMI cable.

HDMI output control differs between during recording and during playback.

For HDMI output settings during playback ( character_reference [HDMI Connection])

Getting started:

Turn off the camera and the external monitor/external recorder.

Connect the camera and an external monitor or external recorder with a commercially available HDMI cable.

connect_monitor-hdmi-cable-ex-recorder

(A) [HDMI] socket (Type A)

(B) External monitor

Check the direction of the terminals and plug in/out straight holding onto the plug.

(Inserting at an angle can deform the terminal and cause malfunction.)

Do not connect the cable to the wrong terminals. This may cause a malfunction.

Use a “High Speed HDMI cable” with the HDMI logo.
Cables that do not comply with the HDMI standards will not work.
“High Speed HDMI cable” (Type A–Type A plug, up to 1.5 m (4.9 feet) long)

Attaching the Cable Holder

Use of the supplied cable holder prevents detachment of the cable and damage to the terminals.

Put the camera on a stable surface to perform this task.

Example: Attaching to an HDMI cable

While pushing (A) (1), slide the clamp portion of the cable holder to remove it (2).

connect_cable-protector1

After placing the camera on a stable surface, loosely mount the cable holder to the mount on the camera (3), and secure the cable holder by rotating the screws in the direction of the arrows (4), (5).

connect_cable-protector2

Attach the HDMI cable to the clamp portion (6).

connect_cable-protector3

Slide the clamp portion to attach it to the cable holder (7).

connect_cable-protector4

Connect the HDMI cable to the [HDMI] socket (8).

You can also connect the HDMI cable and USB connection cable at the same time when the cable holder is attached.

connect_cable-protector5

(B) Leave some slack so that this section has a length of at least 10 cm (0.33 feet).

Removing the cable holder

To remove the cable holder, follow the steps for attaching it in the reverse order.

Do not use any other USB connection cables except the supplied USB connection cables.

We recommend using an HDMI cable with a thickness diameter of 6 mm (0.24 inch) or less.

It may not be possible to attach HDMI cables of certain shapes.

Keep the clamp portion of the cable holder out of reach of children to prevent swallowing.

Images Output via HDMI

The images output via HDMI differ depending on the recording mode.

character_diamond [ icon_mode-p-motion_table ] Mode

Aspect ratio, resolution, and frame rate output is according to the [Rec Quality] settings in the [Video] ([Image Format]) menu. Resolution and frame rate can be down-converted for output according to the application.

YUV 4:2:2 is used for YUV and bit value output.

Recording to card	HDMI output
4:2:2 10-bit	4:2:2 10-bit
4:2:0 10-bit	4:2:2 10-bit
4:2:0 8-bit	4:2:2 8-bit

Resolution, frame rate

Resolution and frame rate output according to the following menu combinations:

– [Rec Quality] in the [Video] ([Image Format]) menu.

– [Down Convert] in [HDMI Rec Output] of the [Custom] ([IN/OUT]) menu.

6K/4K Anamorphic (4:3) video is output with a 4K or FHD resolution.

For details ( character_reference Image Quality When Outputting via HDMI)

When set to a 4:3 [Rec Quality], bands are added to the left and right of the image for output.

Output may be in 8-bit if you output to devices that do not support 10-bit.

character_diamond [iA]/[P]/[A]/[S]/[M] Mode

Output is the same as [ icon_mode-p-motion_table ] mode during video recording.

During recording standby, it is output according to the setting of [Aspect Ratio] in the [Photo] ([Image Quality]) menu.

– When set to any [Aspect Ratio] other than 16:9, bands are added to the left and right of the image for output.

– Resolution, frame rate, YUV, and bit value output matches the connected device.

character_diamond Notice Regarding HDMI Output

It may take some time for the output method to change.

When you use the HDMI output during recording, the image may be displayed with a time lag.

Beep sounds, AF beep, and electronic shutter sounds are muted during HDMI output.

When you check the image and audio from the TV connected to the camera, the microphone of the camera may pick up the sound from the speakers of the TV, producing an abnormal sound (audio feedback).

If this occurs, move the camera away from the TV or lower the volume on the TV.

Certain setting screens are not output via HDMI.

There is no output via HDMI while you are recording with the following functions:

– [6K/4K PHOTO]/[Post-Focus]

If the temperature of the camera rises, [ icon_temperature-rise ] may be displayed, recording may stop, and some functions may become unavailable temporarily. Wait until the camera cools down.
