    I just got a field monitor, but I can’t get it to work. Is there a setting on the camera that I’m missing or something? I was hoping it would ‘just work’. I’m using the mini HDMI out from camera into the HDMI on the montior.

    Thanks.

    First thing to check is your cable.. Mini-hdmi to hdmi cables are almost all junk, wether or not you pay big money for a name-brand (which you shouldn’t) or get a generic cheapy. I’m lucky if one lasts me more than a handful of shoots. I have also had them show up D.O.A. out of package once or twice.

    Turns out it’s a bad display. All the cables work, and I just connected the t2i to my tv with HDMI and it works like a charm.

    For some reason, I always assume it’s some hidden menu item somewhere that I have to track down.

    Thanks.
