Hi,

 

Using the Sony A7RII for a shoot tomorrow.
Have an external HDMI monitor and when I try to record 4K the internal sony monitor goes black...

Any help?

Sounds like a processing limitation.. it cant out put to both at the same time in Rec mode.. work off the monitor.. ?

Quite a few v-DSLRs did this over time. Normally you'd pass through your recorder into another monitor for operating, and sometimes even a 3rd for AC/ing-- though they could also work off of the recorder if it happened to have a monitor on it.
