VariZoom VZM7 - Manual (Page 4)

Using the Monitor for the First Time
Although this is essentially a plug-and-play type monitor, there are a few things to note before you begin using it.
o -There is a sheet of protective film covering the screen – remove this before using the monitor.
o -Do not block the air vents on the monitor
o -Do not
plug anything into the “Zoom” port other than the special Zoom/Peaking Trigger Remote accessory (NOTE: Never plug
a camera zoom control into this port).
o -Never use the AC adapter and battery at the same time – only use one power source at a time.
Connect the AC power supply to the monitor (14) and power up your camera.
Connect the HDMI cable to your camera and the monitor. If you need the HDMI signal to go to another monitor or location, use the
“HDMI OUT” (13).
Turn on the power switch located at the back of the monitor (15).
Basic Picture Settings
Aspect Ratio - The monitor should automatically detect and display the correct aspect ratio, however, you are able to manually select
the aspect ratio mode by pressing the 4:3 / 16:9 button.
Color / B&W - You can also switch to monochrome mode (black & white) by pressing the B/W button. Some users find this mode useful
for critical focusing.
DSLR Scaling - If you are using a DSLR camera like the Canon 5D and the image doesn’t fill the monitor screen, you can press the
▼/Camera button to turn DSLR scaling “ON” to fill the screen. Otherwise, leave this setting “OFF.” NOTE: With Canon 5D Mark III,
you may have to press the camera
’s “INFO” button a few times until the image fills the screen of the M7 monitor.
Picture Settings - To change the picture settings (brightness, contract, saturation, sharpness), first hit the side arrow buttons ( ◄/Vol- &
►/Vol+) to enter adjustment mode, then hit the up/down arrow buttons (▲/Scale & ▼/Camera) to scroll through the setting categories.
Once you’ve reached the picture setting you want to adjust, use the side arrow buttons (◄/Vol- & ►/Vol+) to make the adjustment. All
other picture, display and system settings are changed through the menu system.
