Hi guys,
I just got hold of an Limelite M7 HD field monitor. It's an supplement to the small, and not very clever placed screen on the Sony FS700. I do not know, if I was naive or if i'm doing something wrong, but I had the idea, that when I plugged in the monitor, the Sony screen would simply duplicate it self to the monitor... The case is: It's not!
So, what I have is a monitor with no histogram, no peaking, no zebra, no information at all telling if the exposure is correct. The monitor can be adjusted in any way and that is making it completely unusable regarding to read the exposure.
Did I misunderstand the purpose of an monitor? Is this what they do?
From my POV it dosen't add well to my workflow that I have to first set white balance, tint, contrast and brightness to match the sony screen before shooting.
Thanks in advance, and have a nice day :)
