BM Video Assist Focus Peaking

PostSun Apr 23, 2017 1:07 pm

I hooked up my video monitor to my Cinema Production Camera 4K via a SDI cable but for some reason I can not change the sensitivity of the focus peaking function. I can only switch it off and on the function in the camera settings and not the monitor itself and if I change the setting on the monitor from low to medium or high I don't see any change. what do I miss?

You need to turn off Focus Pes,in on the camera menu, it you want to use Focus peaking on the VA. Use the VA menus to select the type and level of focus peaking you want to use.

You do not want both the camera and VA focus peaking activated at the same time, they will conflict with each other. Use either the camera setting, or the VA.
