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.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      By Giampaolo Masserano · Posted

      I use a TECHART ring to mount Canon EF lenses on the GFX 50S-II and 100S-II, maintaining image stabilization and autofocus. The only limitation are lenses with a small rear element diameter that make it impossible to cover medium format. Fast lenses like the EF 85/1.2L or the 100-400L, however, work great.

      Looking for Full Frame lenses to adapt to GFX

      I also use a Nikon to GFX Fringer and it works very well.  24mm f/1.8 vignettes so best used on 35mm mode.  50mm f/1.8 covers the entire frame very well with no issues and is a superb little lens. 105mm Sigma vignettes slightly but is perfectly usable. 300 f/4 likewise the 105.  I have a 70-200 f/20+.8 incoming to test so will report back but I'm expecting a little vignetting.  Even in 35mm mode the image is still 60MP and if you're prepared to manually crop and correct you can get 80-90 MP images.  I also have a C/Y to GFX adapter.  The 24mm Sigma Superwide vignettes strongly. Ditto 28-80 Zeiss Sonnar. 80-200 f/4 Sonnar is perfectly usable. All work fine as 35mm mode lenses.  I also have an M42 adapter which I tried with the Carl Zeiss Jena 135mm f/3.5 with good results.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By jerryy · Posted

      Ahh, the infamous brick wall photos… 😀 According to internet lore, if the dng converter does not properly apply the corrections, you can have it apply custom profiles that should work for you. How to do that is waaaaaay outside of this comment’s scope, but there are plenty of sites listed in the search engines that step you through the processes. Best wishes.

      Image correction with GF20-35

      By Trevor R · Posted

      Jerry Thank you very much. That is extremely helpful. It seems that the camera and the lens have the latest firmware update, so it appears that the corrections should be applied automatically. The lens arrived this afternoon and I took some quick test shots, in which the correct lens information appeared in the EXIF files, so that sounds good. I used Adobe DNG converter to convert the Raw (RAF) files, and then opened the DNG files and saved them in PSD format. However, with a beautiful, clear, cloudless blue sky, there were no lines near the edges to check if distortion had been corrected. Another day I plan to photograph a brick wall. Thank you for your help.
