Since i got the camera 3-1-08, i have noticed that half of the time when i turn on the camera the LCD dosen`t turn on. I have to push the button on the LCD several times,today it took 2 minutes, to get a picture.
Is there anybody who has got the same experience?
Best regards

If the camera is set to LCD as output when it powers up, the LCD should power up to. Can you isolate if it is a cable issue or actual LCD issue?Originally Posted by Steen Linde

Hi Brent
The cable is mounted as it should. The camera is set to give me pictures at the LCD only. When I hit the power button on the LCD, I can see a slight change in blacklevel at the monitor and nothing happens. I can do that 5 or 6 times before I get my picture on the LCD.
Best regards

Very similar issues here today - LCD refused to power up at one point, though pressing brightness up/down caused the screen to flicker once. After a little experimentation - pressing a few more buttons, it eventually decided to power up.
anyone else in the same boat?

Last night when I unpacked and set up everything I could not power the LCD. I pressed a few buttons in combination with the power button and then it worked. Next time I booted up, the LCD came up with the camera.
Red Team, what exactly is the procedure for powering the LCD? Power button? Or a combo?
I'll try again later. Babysitting now.
Cheers,
Harry

Not that this is necessarily your issue, but I found for the first week I used the lcd that I thought I had a problem, but it was actually operator error.
The camera defaults to the last used monitor selection, so half the time I had to go into the menu and reset it to LCD.
Also, until I fully understood the purpose of all the buttons, when I thought I was powering the LCD I was actually turning it off or pushing the wrong button and toggling to another source.
The LCD comes on by default, when you turn on the camera. Are you sure you aren't simply turning it off w/ all your button pushes?

I'll check it later Greg but I think that's exactly what I was doing. Hope that's the case for Steen as well. It would be a bummer if it was DOA. I'm sure the Red SWAT team will get right on it if that's the case though...
Cheers,

Hi guyes!
I didn´t push any buttons, because the only way for me right now is using the LCD monitor. I haven`t got a monitor with SDI to look at. It is like the camera don´t remember the last setting. Next time the LCD won´t come up I will check the seetings at the camera´s own display.

Hi again
I tryed to turn on the camera 5 times now, and the LCD came up nice every time.Then I took the camera outside for 5 minutes with 5 Celsius outside.
Then I turned on the camera again and the LCD was off. I checked the display at the camera, and the monitor setting was " LCD". I turned the camera off.
Waited another 30 sec. turned it on again and the LCD didn`t come up. I pushed the power button at the LCD, and i came up after approx. 2 sek.
I´m a little confused here??
