The integrated camera controller provides camera control such as record, zoom, shutter, and focus. A control cable is included to connect your Panasonic GH4 camera to the monitor.

The monitor features various monitoring tools such as waveform, histogram, false color, and vectorscope, as well as focusing aids like peaking, zoom, and markers. At the rear of the monitor a built-in L-series battery plate accepts a separately available battery for power, while an integrated power output can also power your camera via the included cable.
