Hi there and sorry if the question has aleady been asked.
Most of the crop modes work with the preview broken and I wonder if using an external monitor would fix this? Or does the same greyscale than in Liveview would be shown on the Ext. monitor while shooting ?
Many thanks for your help and happy new year !

It fixes it  :)

external is in color

Was that supposed to be trolling?!

If it's broken on the internal LCD, it will be just as broken on the external monitor.
If it's color and real-time on the internal LCD, it will be color and real-time on the external monitor as well.
If it's grayscale or slow on the internal LCD, change the preview options and start over.

Generally speaking, external monitor support is more difficult, as it requires 6 times more bandwidth (1920x1080 vs 720x480). For this particular issue, it's a matter of figuring out how to alter Canon's previewing pipeline (or how to reprogram it from scratch on the image processing hardware, rather than on the main CPU, which is very slow).

I may have remberered it wrong, I will double check when I get home

Edit yes its broken on the external
too if its broken on the internal, sorry It was because I rembered something about the 5x zoom being balck and white on the back lcd and in color on extrernal. and I thought this applied to the other crops too

Many thanks for your answer A1ex. I won't invest in any external monitor and keep playing with the internal LCD then!

I don't have an ext.monitor, but I'd like to know:

When we use crop module with 50/60fps, our preview with overlays always with poor quality and lags. But, when we turn overlays off with "info" button - we can see regular Canon preview without lags and in color - but it is stretched. Can we enable anamorphic squeeze (on ext.monitor) to get right proportions?

Is there a way to get the same image on an external monitor in crop mode that is on the live view?  When I am shooting 3.5 K in 2.35:1 and use an external monitor, the monitor is showing the 5x zoom.  Is there a way around this?

Hi , i m search exactly same information, cuz i saw with  5*zoom on my hdmi preview too ..its not too confort for composition.
I use a lilliput a7 ( by the way i knew the signal out of mk3 are 8 bit HD)

Has anyone found a way of displaying grayscale ML Raw on an external monitor? I keep seeing 5x in color, but cannot get grayscale to show.

Maybe this will give you an idea re: 5D3.123...

So I guess it is confirmed that in 3.5 1:1 x5 mode, the rear LCD will show the correct framing but the external monitor will be heavily cropped on an approximatively 4:3 centered rectangle. Right?

May still be useful to check for correct focus while relying on rear LCD for composition...

Thank you

Yeah I'm having the same issue, I can get normal preview on a phone-usb-camera with mlv1080 mode but not 5.5k anamorphic. Both modes in canon menu give a distorted view. It's usable for focusing, but proper preview would be amazing.

Hi guys!
Like all 5D3 owners, I also have a broken liveview
There is a build of crop_rec_4k_mlv_snd_isogain_1x3_presets_2022Apr07.5D3123 from Bilal
I hope the guys can solve this problem ;)

Bilal building for 5D3? You may confuse him with Danne...

I just have updated download links to latest Danne build.
I understand you...
I hope liveview is not broken

LiveView will be stretched in "anamorphic" modes on 5D3, that's how it works currently.

Unfortunately, nothing to do right now. You need to use "Framing" preview from RAW video submenu, but, as far as I know "Framing" preview won't work with HDMI as in your case.

You need to stick with LCD screen if you want to use crop mode presets with high resolutions (which doesn't have correct real-time preview).

Thanks Bilal!
It's a pity that I'm not good at coding and I can't help you with solving this problem:(
But I am always ready to help with testing!
