In order to prompt out successfully, you will need
to output to an external monitor. If you have a
modern apple device, it is likely you will need to
purchase the Apple Mini DisplayPort adapter.
Refer to the user manual for more information.
When an external monitor is connected and
powered on, OSX will discover the monitor and
automatically extend the desktop. Next is to
configure the display settings for the secondary
monitor.
To see the image correctly in the mirror (if using

for use with an on-camera unit). This option is
found within the Basic tab within Preferences.
