THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING ELVID.

The Elvid OCM-7B-DV2 FieldVision is an on-camera monitor
with HDMI and composite audio and video inputs, as well
as composite video loop-through. The 7˝ LCD panel’s native
resolution is 1024 × 600, with an aspect ratio of 16:10 (native)
that you can set to 4:3, 16:9, Full Screen, and two zoom

presets. The onscreen menu makes it easy to ne-tune your

image, and it offers adjustments for brightness, contrast, hue,
sharpness, color temperature, and saturation. There are also

broadcast-specic features like safety frame markers and

multiple display formats.

The FieldVision is equipped with advanced tools like Check

Field to help calibrate the monitor, a Focus setting to ne-tune

your focus, and Camera mode to scale the incoming video
signal when shooting on a DSLR. Onboard programmable
function buttons provide quick shortcuts to Check Field and
Focus Assist modes, safety frames, color temperature, and the
onscreen volume bar. There’s also an integrated speaker and
a 3.5 mm stereo headphone output for live audio monitoring.
A removable sunshade is included to minimize glare when
shooting outdoors.
