Hi there everyone, I'm not sure how to put this into question but I'll try to say it as best as I can. I am currently using the Sony Alpha A37 and I have plans in the future to record videos of myself. However, the LCD can only be tilted but not make a 180 degree turn. Meaning here that I can't look at myself while I am filming myself. What I wanted is something similar to what most camcorders/handycams can do, where the LCD can be twisted/turned so you can see yourself when you're filming yourself. Is there such an accessory for DSLR/SLT cameras to do this? Like some sort of LCD Reflector? Or perhaps, is it possible to hook it up to another display (TV, monitors etc.) so I can see what is being filmed while it is filming?  |

QUOTE(Rice_Owl84 @ Jan 15 2015, 01:08 AM) External monitors aren't cheap and are usually used by people who are more serious about video works. What you looking for its called tethered shooting. Usually done via hdmi output from the camera into a monitor, tv or laptop (tablets and phones too). If its indoors at home I would try connecting to a laptop. Here's an example of how someone connected his canon camera, i'm sure sony can do it too, to his laptop to record video so he can frame/monitor himself more easily. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqU0Pc4vcPcthat's exactly what I'm looking for! thank you very much for the youtube link, it helps me to find what i need to do  |
