5" Touch LCD Fullscreen Mode?

[Julio Quintana]

Hey guys. On the original Red LCD there is a button on the top that hides the menus and fills the screen with just picture. Is there a way to do this with the new touchscreen LCD? The screen is so tiny that I really miss that old function.

 

[Raul Gonzo]

I was also wondering this...

 

[Matthew J]

Yes, would love that feature. The 5" screen being .6" smaller and not being able to even get the image fully to the screen makes focusing very hard without punching in to 1:1 (which you can't do while shooting.) If we could go fullscreen, that might help/

 

[Pawel Achtel]

Yes, there is through menus. But, there is no way to go back because...you have no menus

 

[Matthew J]

Yes, there is through menus. But, there is no way to go back because...you have no menus

So you need to be able to set one of those side buttons to switch between menus and "preview", correct?

 

[Julio Quintana]

Yes, there is through menus. But, there is no way to go back because...you have no menus

Seriously? Where is it in the menu? And what would that function be called in the user presets drop-down menu?

 

[Johnny Friday]

Would be GREAT if we had some one touch on one of the user keys on side of camera OR set one of them on the LCD....but i've not found full screen on the menu settings. Where is that?

 

[Julio Quintana]

Pawel, can you tell us what the menu setting is? Red team?

I asked this question 17 months ago and never got an answer Anybody know how to go into full screen mode on the 5" touch LCD?

 

[George A.]

Yes Julio.

You can set up a side LCD button to cycle through the menus/full screen options. I have it set like this on mine.
Look into the choices when you're assigning functions to the LCD soft buttons... I forgot what it's called.

You cannot assign just two functions (menus/full screen/menus), there are a minimum of three actually, but it's very easy as well to cycle quickly back and forth.

Let me know if you cannot find them Julio and I'll look it up for you my friend.

In the Display->Monitor Control dialog you can set the LCD to either Clean or Overlay mode. This will remove the top and bottom bars.

You can assign a key to cycle through the LCD modes if you want an easy way to go between Menu mode and Clean/Overlay.

You can also double-tap on the LCD to force the menus back on (so you don't accidentally lock yourself out).

 

[Ulf Krentz]

Go to Settings->Setup->Keys->Key Mapping (choose your Key by pressing it)->Map it to: LCD(Brain):Cycle Mode

Cheers, Ulf


Ahh, Trent already chimed in.

Ahh, Trent already chimed in.

But I was in a hurry and didn't leave the detail you did

 

[Julio Quintana]

I. Love. Reduser.

 

[Robert Ruffo New]

You can also assign a Redmore function to this, if you have one of the rare Redmotes that works reliably.
