3 Huge Problems With The HDMI On The Canon M50 (and 2 solutions)

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

I also have a video about how to use your phone as a monitor. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqLMfH6QrLFrhcU

Hi, are there specific settings on your M50 that allows you to use your external monitor? I’m getting a No HDMI signal when I connect my Monitor to the camera? This is despite the fact that I’m using the HDMI cable

[@yestojesus1225]

Hi I got the solution to help you record and connect to Atem mini without the camera turning off. Connect both usb and hdmi. USB to computer turn on canon software and select live. Then also connect hdmi out to atem mini or elgato. This is a jail break. Try it this works finally!!!!Share with all thank me later

I use the M50 with Ecamm live for live streaming so what I see on my computer screen is the same as what I see on the camera. The quality is far superior than using my computer's webcam or a logitech web cam

Thank you. Someone else mentioned that. Can you use it with PC or just MAC OS?

[@haraldkal]

Thank you for the very detailed guide! There is still another issue, it will only stay on for 30 minutes. From what I've learned online, the only solution is using third party software and connecting a computer to the camera via USB.

[@youcollabor3532]

Have you found a work around for the audio issue with hdmi ? Good video :) thank you for making it

[@BlackBearForge]

My biggest complaint was that it shut off the touch screen on the camera making it harder to change settings

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

Yeah. That could be better. My Nikon used to leave the camera screen on even when using HDMI.

Please help me, I have problems live streaming using melonapp, whenever I live stream after few seconds my live lag or freezes. I don’t know what to do.

[@victortey]

If you use Ecamm Live (Mac-only live-streaming software) you can use the M50 as a webcam with just a USB micro cable connected from the camera to the Mac.

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

Cool thank you. I didn’t know about that.

[@AM2PMReviews]

[@LoodgieterDenHaagStad]

thanks for the honest video. I have a question. I have a canon m50. can use the focus tap with the monitor. I mean by this, if you press on the screen with your finger on an object it then goes into focus. and you can go into the menu of the canon to adjust the settings. I once connected an external monitor. the screen of the canon m50 then goes out so that I could no longer change the setting Thank you in advance

[@LifeIsDigitalUK]

Glad that 2 of these were sorted in the MK2, but still awkward placement of the HDMI out port

[@hannanmajid7954]

Which 2 points have been addressed, I know one of them is the clean hdmi out.

[@IsomPhilips]

Guess I'm confused as to why anyone would want to use a Field Monitor hand held. I think the reason the port is located on the right side is that monitors are usually attached to the camera when it is on a tripod or a rig. I'm not sure about your monitor but on mine I can remove the on screen graphics from the M50 by pushing the info button until it goes away.

[@daddyrooster88]

Maybe because the camera screen is too small. The monitors are light anyways

attach external audio recorder like 'zoom f3' at your 'canon m50'. you can monitor the sound with headphones pluged in the 'zoom f3' and if you want connect audio out of 'zoom f3' into 'canon m50' audio in port. that way, you can have your audio record on canon m50 where is the video record, so you don't have to sinc in post.

[@SuhaimiAngler]

Sorry to ask on this video. i got question about m50. i shoot in 60fps and in post 30fps because sometime I need to get the slo mo. so on 60fps the best shutter speed is close to double fps which mean our m50 have the option on 1/125 right? But sometime under type of condition of light, 1/125 can catch the flickering on lighting frequency i think but not in 1/100. Do u seen this before? if yes, in this condition, how i want to shoot in 60fps?

[@TheFtzen]

Light flicker is due to your regions power grid. Thats why you got pal and ntsc. In Europe you have no flicker with 25p or 50p, but you do with 60p. Copy pasted from a website: NTSC is the standard broadcast format in the United States, while PAL is the standard broadcast format in Europe, Australia, and parts of Asia. I know you lose the holy grail of 24p hype, but it might solve the light flickering + allow you to use double the shutter speed. I'm almost 100% sure that nobody will know the difference between 24p and 25p anyway :) Your region probably uses those framerates anyway for broadcasting and you never thought of it :) Here in Denmark our national broadcaster specifies the use of 25p and 50p if you want to deliver videos for their services :) (Also, 50p have no loss of frames when made into 25p, but if you shoot 60p and make it 24p you lose frames). Playing around with shutter speed, like 1/100 might solve the problem, you could also try 1/150 (or what the next step is), but you lose that nice motion blur

[@Rawrawproductions]

I literally just found this out and was bummed out. Thank you for talking about this You saved me time by not having to go crazy trying to figure out what’s wrong with my monitor.

[@camarol88]

The worst issue with the HDMI is if you connect the camera trough and HDMI to a mains power monitor and at the same time record audio. Hum from mains line will go trough the cable and couple to the recorded signal.

[@VioletHenning]

Great info indeed since i was about to buy an external monitor and now i know what to beware of. Thanks Job you always have the most helpful info.

[@ScottJWaldron]

Nice video. I didn't know about the audio thing. That makes external monitors a lot less appealing. That ribbon cable is interesting. One other thing is that I don't think the M50 will stay on after 30 minutes when outputting to HDMI (Edit: "RegularGuy" has a fix for that, see his comment).

[@regularguy2162]

You can get around that by plugging in the USB and starting up the EOS utility in remote shooting mode. This tells the camera that it's still being used, and it's not idle, so the power saving feature doesn't kick in. I've used this to live stream for well over the 30 minute mark without interruption.

[@ScottJWaldron]

​@@regularguy2162 You mean you had the utility running, but captured the HDMI output for streaming? That's a smart idea to keep the camera running! I've used the application before and thought about making a video with a x86 windows tablet as a monitor/capture device with the eos utility (it has audio levels that stay on while recording!) but there are so few decent x86 tablets in the 7-8 inch size. Still might buy one eventually and see. The Surface Go is tempting but 10 inches might feel a bit large. Haven't handled one in person.

[@StringSkipp3r]

I bought a sarmonic pax1 preamp. It lets you monitor your audio, though it adds a lot of bulk. Not ideal for run n gun but for a studio set up, it works like a charm. It also allows you to somewhat bypass the preamp of the canon M50 giving you a cleaner audio.

[@GoldenGramz]

Hey, are you saying you can hear audio through hdmi with the use of a preamp?

[@motionpicture77]

How do you control the autofocus once a monitor is attached? I have no way to control witch part of the image is in focus. Would love to see both monitors on at the same time.

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

You have to do it with the buttons. Unfortunately it is very limited. Though you can connect your phone to the camera and use the canon connect app to control your focus.

[@SuccessisTheGoal]

So glad to learn more about the HDMI cable with the M50! Thanks!!!

[@cjsvinyl]

You've already attached the M50 Cage to your camera. Why not just purchase an external handle so you don't even have to grip the camera body? I purchased the SmallRig wooden handle. It has a smooth finish and connects via two quarter twenty screws on either side of the cage.

[@TheFtzen]

Litterally did the same thing... Thought long and hard, made the purchase... and had almost instant regrets... Embedded audio-bars is not a guarantee with field monitors, i learned this the hard way. Most feelworld monitors have it, but the 570 does not. And to make matters worse, it came with a hdmi mini, not micro. You can however still replay videos and have a listen through the headphone jack, it's not ideal... but you gotta make the most of it. The ribbon-cables looks like a nice solution, but any angled cable makes the world of difference, if you use a gimbal that connects via the usb, then make sure it's angled the right way so it does not block it :) Another huge design flaw of having outputs on the right side of the camera is that it blocks the gimbal arm if you use a straight cable.

[@RecreationalRunner]

I use the moza aircross 2 and you can put the gimbal arm on the left of the camera which helps.

[@PRABHATP77]

Hi, Read the full comment. I have figured out the solution to the sound problem. See the solution is a bit expensive. But it is all there is. So the first think you'd need is an audio inserter. And the second thing you'd need is a video field recorder aka video assist. The audio inserter would cost about $30-$40, and the video assist is a bit expensive. I think not less than $500, but you do the research. A professional filmmaker on the internet says this: "The lack of audio support via HDMI by Canon on its early DSLR Cameras was a move by Canon to sell,you a more expensive video camera, and is not a BM issue with its products. Cinema productions using these cameras, recorded audio separately, so this was not an issue. What you can do is get a something like a BM HDMI to SDI Mini Converter which has a separate audio (analog and AES digital) input, which embeds the audio signal into the HDMI incoming video signal and outputs it SDI, which now gives you a Video signal with the audio embedded to feed to the VA. You will need a separate mixer for the mic feeds to the Mini Converter, I use the Sound Devices MixPre D, but the older MixPre works well, and used ones are at reasonable cost. Take the HDMI out from the Canon Camera to the HDMI in on the Mini Converter. Plug the microphones into a small field audio mixer, take its output to the Audio input on the Mini Converter, then connect the SDI output from thr Mini Converter to the SDI input on the Video Assist. Now you have decent control,of audio levels, with the audio embedded in a SDI signal to the VA, and audio and video are recorded, all syn’d up. I used a similar setup to get audio into a video stream from a camera that did not support audio in its video output." See the filmmaker above uses BM HDMI to SDI Converter, which is a bit expensive. You can use audio inserter instead and it would work well. It should have one audio input, one hdmi input, and one hdmi output. Here is one link I found: www.aliexpress.com/item/32984747683.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.2c8f1d69K9uNbN&algo_pvid=8b0b6203-ac91-4831-b4ab-cda1416bd22b&algo_expid=8b0b6203-ac91-4831-b4ab-cda1416bd22b-0&btsid=0ab6d70515907577092176257e3a08&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_ I did the research and it is a sure shot solution.

[@spidrespidre]

I bought a Weebill S gimbal to go with my M50 and at first it was great, happy with what I could do. Then I bought the transmitter module and everything went pear-shaped. Despite you posting this in September of 2019 and having watched (I thought) all your M50 vids, I discovered too late that things were not destined to go smoothly with connections on a different side of the camera to other "compatible" cameras. Both the USB and HDMI cables were too short (when the transmitter was installed) and required surgery to fit next to each other. Not happy with Canon but what can you do? In my case, the answer looks like purchasing a rig so I can secure the transmitter in a more convenient spot. Not sure yet how well that will go with the gimbal but that's the direction I'm moving in. Cheers!

Nope. I do have polish heritage (my grandmother was 100% polish) but she grew up in New York and had an NY accent. Not sure why myself and a few of my siblings have this impediment especially since my oldest and youngest siblings don’t. 🤷‍♂️

Good review, I am working on this now 👍

👊

Sparkocam solves the livestreaming clean output problem, there are also other apps as well, hope that helps. M50 is a great livestreaming camera.

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

Is that PC or MAC?

[@Design475]

PC, there is also digicam which is free but I found to be buggy. Ecamm could solve your Mac problem. There are soooo many videos of work arounds with the M50, it is the best budget for quality livestream camera I've found.

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

Thank you. I will look into that.

[@Design475]

It also solves the 30min record limit issue.

[@Aladdin32]

Thanks for these details, may I know what lens and setting you are using in this video for the a-roll, it looks amazing and crisp, sheers..

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

Thanks. I used the 22mm pancake lens at 22mm. The way my studio is now I can back up the camera enough to use tighter lenses. It has been really nice.

[@Aladdin32]

Thanks mate for the answer, its appreciated, wish you all the best.

[@picabocarecordingstudio9507]

I have a problem with the external monitor because when I turn it on, my M50 monitor turns off and I lose the touch screen functions for auto focus, etc. Is there a way to use both monitors at the same time?

[@daddyrooster88]

Nope. You have to unplug the hdmi adjust then put back

[@stgeorge143]

Does anyone know how to get the touch screen to stay on when the hdmi out is connected?

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

Unfortunately it isn’t possible.

[@stgeorge143]

@@TheCrowleyCrew Didn't think so... oh well.

[@DhalsimUK]

Does anyone know how to use autofocus while using an external monitor? Especially if the Canon M50 back screen turns off while using an external monitor??

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

I would suggest using single point. You can press the focus button on the camera to open the focus menu and move the point around to area.

[@hermannvalsson4237]

Great video with good help thank you.

[@brianlopez5032]

Good video I like to hear the bads along with the goods. Why don't these companies listen to us?!?!?!

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

On occasion they do, Canon finally put 24p into some of their new cameras.

[@pauljmorton]

I don't understand how they firmware can't be updated to provide truly clean HDMI.

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

They might be able to, but I don’t think they will.

[@Sir-Bobby-Brown]

if you use magic lantern you can turn of all overlays

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

Have they released it for the M50?

Excellent video ... useful ... Like given

[@chroniquemontres]

Thanks for this useful video that solved issues. For you information I ve founded a 50cm ribbon on amazon

[@ryancampbell9432]

Can a HDMI to Micro USB converter resolve this issue?

[@terry.stafford]

Just cycle the Info button!! Turns off overlays.

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

I did mention that. Unfortunately to get rid of the focus box you need to turn off Auto Focus

[@7upreme7]

Has anyone had issues with the hdmi port shorting out

[@KeetonMusic]

4K HDMI out? 30 or 60 FPS?

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

I have not had the opportunity yet to use an external recorder with the M50, so I am not sure.

[@cjonwickham1933]

No 4k 60fps and consider native 1.7 + 1.6 crop. Unusable ..1080 full hd 60fps all in or ipb codec compress or raw is standard from canon m series like m50 to r rp r5 r6. Crop factor.

[@jbcreations2165]

can't you just get rid of the overlay by simply pressing on the info button and turning off autofocus?

[@TheCrowleyCrew]

Yes. I mentioned that in the video I think.
