The Elvid FieldVision 4K is a lightweight, 7-inch on-camera monitor that
is capable of displaying signals up to 4K UHD (3840 × 2160) and up to
30p. The LCD panel’s native resolution of 1280 × 800 provides a sharp
image and facilitates precise color rendering. It offers an aspect ratio of
16:10 (native) that you can set to 4:3, 16:9, Full Screen, and two zoom
presets. In addition, pixel-to-pixel mode gives you the actual quality of 4K
resolution in order to see the ne details of your image. The FieldVision
4K also accepts composite video and two-channel audio with an A/V
breakout cable (not included.)
The onscreen menu makes it easy to ne-tune your image, and it offers
adjustments for brightness, contrast, hue, sharpness, color temperature,
and saturation. There are also broadcast-specic features like safety
frame markers and multiple display formats.
The FieldVision 4K is equipped with advanced tools like Check Field to
help calibrate the monitor, a Focus Assist setting to ne-tune your focus,
and Camera mode to scale the incoming video signal when shooting on a
DSLR. Onboard programmable function buttons provide quick shortcuts
to Check Field and Focus Assist modes, safety frames, a center marker,
and the onscreen volume bar. There’s also an integrated speaker and a
3.5 mm stereo headphone output for live audio monitoring. A removable
sunshade is included to minimize glare when shooting outdoors.
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING ELVID.

POWERING
OPTIONS
There are two ways to power the FieldVision 4K: AC or the
included rechargeable battery.
CAMERA BATTERY
The FieldVision’s built-in battery mounting plate accommodates
a Sony L-Series–type battery. For more information on
compatible battery types, refer to Specications on page 26.
1. Place a compatible battery in
the battery plate. Make sure
the battery’s bottom contacts
are aligned with the contacts
in the battery plate.
2. Slide the battery forward
until it locks into place.
To install a compatible battery,
follow these steps:

10
To turn on the FieldVision 4K, press the power button on the
front panel of the monitor. The FieldVision 4K will turn on
and enter standby mode, and the status LED will glow red.
To remove the battery, press and hold the battery release
button, and slide the battery out of the plate.
Charge the included battery by placing it on the battery
charger and gently clicking the battery into place. Plug the
charger into an outlet. The status LED will glow red while
the battery charges, and will turn green once the charging
is complete.
AC POWER
To run the FieldVision 4K with AC power, use a 12 V DC
adapter to connect the FieldVision 4K’s DC power input to
your AC power source.
To turn on the FieldVision 4K, press the power switch to
the On position. The FieldVision 4K will turn on and enter
ready mode, and the status LED will glow orange.

11
MOUNTING THE FIELDVISION
Use the FieldVision 4K’s 1/4″-20 threaded socket to attach the
monitor to your mounting system or the included ball head.
Make sure your bracket can support the monitor.
CONNECTING THE VIDEO SOURCE
HDMI Input: The FieldVision 4K is equipped with an HDMI
input for use as a wired high-denition video monitor.
1. Use a compatible HDMI cable (such as the included mini to
full-size HDMI cable) to connect your HDMI video source to
the FieldVision 4K’s HDMI input.
2. Press the Mode button to cycle through the input modes until
HDMI appears on the monitor. If your HDMI video source
is sending a signal to the monitor, the image will appear
onscreen, and the status LED will glow green.
Attention: Whether you are monitoring sound through the
speaker or on headphones, you can avoid audio feedback or
sudden audio bursts by turning down the internal speaker
volume. Press and hold the Left Nav/Vol – button to lower the volume.
USING THE
OCM-7B-4K

12
Composite Video Input: To use your FieldVision 4K as a wired
standard-denition video monitor, an A/V breakout cable
(available separately) is needed.
1. Insert the 1/8″(3.5 mm) plug into the A/V input on the
side of the monitor.
2. Connect your composite video source to the yellow
RCA jack.
3. If desired, connect your audio source to the white (L) and
red (R) audio jacks.
4. Press the Mode button to cycle through the input modes
until Video appears on the monitor. If your composite
video source is sending a signal to the monitor, the image
will appear onscreen, and the power indicator LED will
glow green.
Note: When using the composite video input, your audio
source must be plugged into the FieldVision 4K’s composite
audio input in order to monitor the sound.
If your video source is connected, the picture will appear on the
screen, and the status LED will glow green. If your video source
is not connected, a blue screen will display a no-signal message.
To turn the screen off, press the power button. The screen will
go black, and the status LED will glow red to indicate that the
power is on and the screen is in sleep mode.

13
An HDMI lock is included with the FieldVision 4K to reduce
stress on the HDMI plug and ensure that the HDMI plug is
not pulled out of the input while you’re shooting.
To install the HDMI lock, follow these steps:
1. Insert the HDMI cable into the HDMI port on the monitor.
2. Place the HDMI lock over
the cable so that the opening
on the end of the plate ts
onto the cable and sits ush
against the cable’s strain relief.
3. Insert the HDMI locking screw
into the HDMI locking socket,
and tighten until secure.
Note: Make sure the HDMI lock
holds the HDMI cable rmly in
the HDMI port. If the cable can
wiggle in the HDMI lock, the connection between your source
and the monitor could be interrupted.

1. Match the pegs of the
mounting frame with the slots
on the back of the monitor.
2. Gently spread the ends of
the mounting frame, and
press them down onto
the monitor until the tabs lock into the
slots on the back of the monitor.
3. Unfold the sunshade and
press the at edge of
the fabric side onto the
touch-connect strip on
the mounting frame.
To remove the sunshade, pull it off of the mounting frame. You
can leave the frame attached for future use, or remove both it
and sunshade.
THE
SUNSHADE
The sunshade prevents glare on the monitor’s screen by
blocking out stray light, and it is useful when shooting outdoors.
To attach the sunshade to the monitor, follow these steps:
