Hi Todd,

Everything seems to travel down the cable to the EVF except Peaking, (perhaps because you can set it to various colours and other parameters). Zebras, frame guides etc all there.

Cheers

Simon

Hi Todd, I picked up a C300 from a facilities company and they have the latest firmware installed. I had a quick play and it looks like I can output all the info from the camera’s monitor to my seperate EVF via the SDI output. I will double check but it’s looking OK.

Many thanks for checking that all out for me Todd, it’s what I thought. Maybe a firmware upgrade one day will give those options.

We shall see.

Cheers Tod, actually I think you are spot on about that. I was thinking of using an Alphtaron EVF and setting the Zebras from the EVF itself.

Looks like I’m not shooting Canon Log now so life should be a tadge easier, but handy to know for the future.

I have to hire the camera so not much time to play around with it.

Thanks.

Thanks Todd.

I’ve got quite used to Zebras over the years but with a lot of cameras once the viewfinder is set up correctly I don’t need them on. However I’ll be using an external viewfinder with the C300 and don’t want to fill my screen with extra info, but it may be the only way.

It would be great to see this shot on the Alexa and mkv revolution, but I have a feeling the client will go for the GoPro route. Thanks all.

Cheers Ed, not a bad suggestion.

Tod, partial success now I’m sat with the camera and manual before my 5:30am call! When set to Canon Log, (which they call Cinema or you switch lock on in the custom profile menu to switch Log as the active gamma), you can then switch on ‘View Assist’ (page 109 of the manual), to give a better image in the viewfinder and flip out LCD. There does not seem to be a way of outputting this image to a separate monitor though,………………….which would be nice.

Great, thanks Todd for the swift response. I’ll be shooting kids participation in different sporting events.
