When using on 5D mk2 it takes 6 seconds when you press the record button on 5D because of the changing from 720p to 480p.

May be change monitor mode yourself only.

Also I didn't figured out how to stretch the image all over the monitor while maintaining 1:1 aspect ratio. It shows black border around image.

1280x800 is monitor resolution, vertical one is bigger than required for 16:9, hence black border.

Just received the monitor and it looks very good. Will test it on a real job tomorrow already. Support and feedback from Neway has been wonderful: DHL needed a more detailed address code, so they write to me immediately and also tried to contact me on Skype. They even asked Vitaliy to to PM me here :) Shipping is amazingly fast. Will write my feedback about the monitor as soon as I'll test it

@flablo Are you going to be using this with the GH3 tomorrow? I'm not planning on upgrading to the GH4 until projects demand it. Seems to work just fine based on what some others have said.

Cheers

I leave my contribution.. late a bit since I received the monitor, but here are my impressions: The monitor is well built. focus peaking is very good, It has halos of light when brightness is set below 50( as you can see) The rest is ok and the size of 7 inches helps a lot ! Shipping is amazing fast .. but unfortunately customs fees are high, maybe if shipped with normal post service would arrive later and no stopped at custom. Anyway, I'm happy with it.

Some new things in CL76 monitors:

Plus it also now shows warning on screen if your battery is low.

For $25 you can get special remote:

you have the pdf because the official site is down, and the final price of the new CL76 add this adapter to

What you mean? What I get things not on site? Yes, of course.

Price is on first page of the topic.

When you enable focus peaking, is the image forces to B&W? Can you use peaking with a color image?

I cannot find a way to extend the screen view to fill the screen using a Nikon D800 or a Nikon D4. I have tried every possible permutation in the menus but cannot get a 16:9 image that does not have a black border all the way round so its like having a 5 inch monitor instead of a 7 inch! If I have the "camera" function assigned to F1 lets say, it shows a correct aspect image until I hit record and then it switches to a 4:3 ratio. If I hit the F1 switch to turn it off the screen image reduces to a small size that would fit on a 5 inch screen. If anybody knows the settings to get a full size 16:9 image out of this monitor I would be very grateful. At the moment it seems that their are quite a few bugs in the software.

Thanks for your reply. I don't have a TV that takes HDMI! I have a Lilliput 7 inch and a 5 inch that don't have this issue so I'm hoping its a combination of settings that I haven't found yet but its driven me crazy all day today trying to sort it.

I did finally work out the problem and it was MY fault! I had some of the HDMI settings setup incorrectly on my camera. I thought I had been through that but clearly I had not! So it is possible to get a full screen view while recording with Nikon D4 and D800. I was contacted by the manufacturer to help me which I find very impressive indeed. Thanks Vitaliy for taking the time to help. Its much appreciated.

Is the estrusion "2.35:1 mode" the one for de-esqueze 1.33x anamorphic footage? Is only available in the new model of cl76? And what about the remote? Are those F buttons custom buttons on the monitor? Some information are welcome because its difficult to find on the net.

thanks vitaliy. if the monitor strech 16:9 to 2.35:1 its perfect for 1.33x adaptors (like optex,century optics or LA7200). Seens to be a great deal!

The hdmi cable works to my TV so that is not the issue. I am using it with a black magic pocket cinema camera. Please help needed.

Do not rush, try another cable anyway, and check all the settings.
