MVF-1 Connector
2
CAM Connector
Connect the CCP-1 CAM connector with the HDMI connector on camera top side,
located underneath the camera handle.
When it is used alone with the camera, the CCP-1 always shows an image.
When a MVF-1 is daisy-chained to the CCP-1, the MVF-1 will show an image in the
EVF, but only one of the two monitors, either of the MVF-1 or the CCP-1 is active.
If the monitor of the MVF-1 is closed, the CCP-1 is activated.
If the monitor of the MVF-1 is opened, the monitor will be activated.
Activate the MVF-1 by pressing a screen button on the MVF-1.
Activate the CCP-1 by pressing any button except the
REC
button on the CCP-1.
