In this lesson we’ll explore the options available for ‘tethering’ via HDMI:
Takeaways
- You cannot control the camera or capture stills via HDMI.
- You cannot output 4K video if you’re not in the Movie mode dial. If you’re in Movie mode, you cannot take stills.
- You need to update your firmware to v2.0 or above to get both HDMI and USB control at the same time.
- The best use of HDMI is for its live view and focusing, where you can walk around with an HDMI or refer to a stationary HDTV while adjusting lights, the subject, etc.
- Use the HDMI lock, which I’ve explained in another lesson, to keep the HDMI cable secure.
- If you need accuracy of the image being shot, you need a viewing LUT and a display that can load such a LUT. You can create this in Photoshop.
