Question 1

Can I control my camera directly from the Shinobi 7 II?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Compatible cameras connect over USB-C, providing touchscreen control of aperture, shutter speed, angle, ISO and white balance. Supported models also offer touch-to-focus and shutter release, which is useful for HDR bracketing and focus stacking. Camera control supports compatible Canon, Fujifilm, Nikon, Panasonic and Sony mirrorless cameras.

Question 2

How can I power the Shinobi 7 II?

Accepted Answer

The Shinobi 7 II can receive power through USB-C PD, an NP-F battery or DC through a battery eliminator. USB-C PD provides a direct power connection when a suitable supply is available, while the NP-F battery slot provides self-contained operation for portable setups. DC power offers another option for longer fixed installations that require continuous power. These three connections let you match the power source to how you mount and operate the monitor.

Question 3

Which anamorphic lenses can the Shinobi 7 II desqueeze?

Accepted Answer

Shinobi 7 II provides desqueeze settings for 2x, 1.8x, 1.79x, 1.65x, 1.6x, 1.5x, 1.33x and 1.25x anamorphic ratios. Selecting the appropriate setting stretches the squeezed camera signal horizontally on the display, presenting the image at a more natural viewing proportion. This makes composition and focus easier to judge while the camera continues to record the squeezed image. The range of settings covers several commonly used anamorphic squeeze factors.

Question 4

Can the Shinobi 7 II display embedded timecode?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Shinobi 7 II can display timecode embedded in the HDMI signal, and it also supports time-of-day display. The monitor does not provide LTC or a reference/genlock input. This distinction is important for productions that require dedicated external synchronisation rather than simply viewing timecode supplied by the camera.

Question 5

Does the Shinobi 7 II support audio monitoring?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Shinobi 7 II supports up to eight channels of 24-bit audio through HDMI and provides a 3.5mm headphone output for monitoring sound. This means the operator can check audio from the incoming HDMI signal directly from the monitor alongside the picture.
