The monitor accepts power from either an optional NP-FM500H, NP=QM71D, NP-QM91D, or optional AC-PW10AM power supply.

Peaking
Peaking is a real-time, focus assist tool that superimposes pulsing red lines over the area if your image that is most contrasy, and therefore most in focus. This makes it easier to confirm that subjects are in-focus or not in-focus.
Pixel-to-Pixel
1:1 pixel-to-pixel mapping allows you to look at the center of your image without any scaling, so you can see the actual detail and not be fooled by scaling artifacts.
Aspect Ratio
The monitor features a native 15:9 aspect ratio. When displaying footage normally, this may cause black bars to appear around your image. This allows the monitor to display your footage in its natural aspect ratio.
TV Marker Display
Displays a grid just inside the angle of view that acts as a guide to the area shown on a LCD screen.
Color Temperature
Selectable color temperature from 9300, 7200, 6500K. The monitor defaults to 6500K.
Includes a headphone jack for monitoring audio levels while recording
Auto lock accessory shoe adapter is used with the Sony Alpha cameras
