External Field Monitor FEELWORLD 7" FW760 and the X-Pro2

Hello,

 
I just got a FEELWORLD 7" IPS 4K HDMI Full HD 1920x1200 On-Camera Monitor FW760 to use with my Fuji X-Pro2
 
After trying to make it work and also try to find some info online for more than 2 hours, I’m now starting to become really frustrated by this thing so I do believe it is wiser and the right time to ask online.
 
The external monitor is connected to my camera by a HDMI cable (Normal from the screen to micro on the Fuji X-Pro2 port). When I use the play back function to see my images recorded on the SD card, they are showing on the big external monitor and all controls from the camera seems to work well (zoom in and out, moving to next image,…) but the trouble is when I want to use the external monitor on Live View… Then, blue screen with the HDMI mention on the top right and a permanent “No Signal” message centred on the screen.
 
I’m not interested in making videos but as I was trying to make this screen working, I tried a video and same thing… Showing up on the external screen when playing back but not while recording on live view.
 
As it works very well (awesome colours and very sharp view) on play back mode, I guess the cable connection is good and I must miss some setting(s) to be changed on the camera itself. I checked everything on the camera menus but can’t find what’s wrong.
 
Any help would be greatly appreciated
 
Thank you

Perhaps Fuji never intended the camera to work that way.

I have an XPRO2 as well and have been hoping to read how to set up an external monitor also.

 

 

And you are perfectly right... That's the problem indeed. I've found the answer somewhere else :(

Actually none of the X Series cameras are allowing the use of an external monitor on live view. Let's hope it could be added at some point with a firmware update (if possible, I don't know about that).

 

For now, the external monitor can only be used when playing back still images or videos. That's already great while shooting landscapes as possible to check images on location with a big screen and to be sure everything is looking good before leaving the place but still, I would have really enjoyed to also have the live view possibility.

 

Crossing the fingers it will become available soon ;-)

What about the Thethered Shooting plug in for Lightroom, have you tried that?

I have the wireless Fiji app on my smartphone and on a 7 ich tablet. Have yet to try it though so I can't personally comment on its utility. The posting I've seen about the app suggest that it's not 100% ready for prime tine.

Nope, not yet. Not using much Lightroom to be honest. Old fashion and doing most of my work with Photoshop. But anyway, I think it could be nice to work on the studio but not helping me when shooting outdoors or on location .

I have it too and to me it seems to work well. Only thing is, on the iPad, it works only in portrait mode so already better than the back LCD but still not showing a huge display. Would be nice to have it working on landscape mode.

 

Other trouble is when I'm shooting macro make-up... To do that, I'm using the Samyang 100mm which is an awesome lens but manual so this is probably where the external LCD would have been the most helpful as it has the focus peeking too. To be able to focus on the eye of the model while standing 30-35cm from her face. This is not the only reason why I got this LCD screen at first but probably the most practical one... At least, what I was thinking ;-)

X-pro2 does NOT support external screen for live view. The HDMI port is for playback only. If you want to use external screen for live view, you need X-T2. Tested and it works for both stills and video.

You are wrong. X-T2 DOES support using external screen for live view.

      pocket wizard and XT5?

      By LBAbrams · Posted

      Has anyone successfully used pocket wizards with an XT5? I cannot get it to fire.  Do Fujis and pocket wizards get along? Thanks in advance for your wisdom on this, kind readers!

      Transfer X-T5 for PC wi fi...

      Grzegorz, Go to the Networking Setting in your camera menu (the last one at the bottom - unless you have a My Menu then that is the last one). There, go to Network Setting and choose the SSID (name) of your WiFi network, type in the password, choose "SET". If you have a functioning DHCP server on your network, the camera should get its IP address (and Subnet_Mask and Gateway). If not, you can enter these manually. It is a little tricky, there will be some zeros already here, move the cursor after the zero and use DEL to delete it and make space in the input fields for your own correct values. If you do not know what to enter, have a look at values in the network settings of your computer and use the same except for the IP address, try some fairly higher number, hopefully you hit an unused one. Usually the values would be something like IP: 192.168.1.188, Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway IP: 192.168.1.1  or something like that, take clues from your computer. The camera and computer must be on the same network. Then in Connection Mode on the camera, choose Wireless Tethering Fixed. And half-press the shutter to exit the menu and get in shooting mode. The red LED should be blinking. If you can look at your network devices, e.g. on your router, you should see the camera there. You can see check the camera settings in the camera menu in the INFORMATION item of the Network Setting menu to see the MAC address of your camera and look for it in the list of devices on your network.  Then use the tethering in your software, e.g. in Capture One. The camera may not show immediately, take a shot and then it should show in the list of available cameras. Good luck. Report back how did you fare.  PS If you have a Windows machine, you need to have Bonjour installed and running. Macs have it.

      X-T30 II Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display viewmode not working

      By grizzski · Posted

      Hey all, I just got my first camera. The X-T30 II. It seems the Eye Sensor + LCD Image Display view-mode is doing the exact same thing as just the Eye Sensor view-mode setting. Any ideas why this is or what's supposed to be happening? Firmware Version: 2.04

      Problem with multi exposure on XT5

      By George_P · Posted

      What GordW said. You have to put the drive mode dial to "S" - Single Frame. If you have it on CL, CH, BKT or Panorama (or HDR), the Multiple Exposure option will be greyed out in the shootng menu. On my X-T5 it works in RAW + JPG and also in JPG only. When Multiple Exposure is switched on, the image quality cannot be set to RAW only. If it was set to RAW only before switching Multiple Exposure On, image quality defaults to RAW+Fine. The result is JPG. After each shot press MENU/OK and after the last one press DISP/BACK.
