Is the Sony NP-FM50 compatible to the Sony CLM-V55?
Yes, it is compatible, but we would recommend the larger NP-F L-series batteries for extended performance with this monitor.

question
Will a 3:2 still image be shown in full on the screen?
On the Sony CLM-V55, any image is not in 15:9 aspect, I.E. 16:9, 4:3 or 3:2, it will be letterboxed with black strips.

question
If I use this with a Canon 6D, will the 3x3 grid be displayed?
We are not able to test but it is our opinion that yes, the camera's 3x3 grid can be seen on the monitor. Press the camera's Display button until it shows on the camera. It should also be on the monitor's screen. This should be the case for any camera monitor.

question
Will this monitor work with the Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera?
It works with any camera with an HDMI out. May not fill the screen as most cameras output a low resolution version of the clip being recorded, but the screen has an 8x zoom in function that helps you keep the subject in perfect focus. I use it when placing the camera on a gimbal or a crane for perfect framing.

question
Would this screen work with Canon 7D mark II camera in both video and stills modes? If yes I'll buy it immediately
Your Canon will work fine since it has an HDMI output. However, I want to highly recommend you upgrade to the Sony CLM-FHD5. The Sony CLM-V55 is only 800x480, whereas the screen on the CLM-FHD5 is 1920x1080 and is MUCH better. You will be pleased. Also, it takes three different models of Sony (or aftermarket) batteries vs. just one on the V55.

question
Does the image fill the screen when used with Sony A7 camera?
Yes it does, but it's not an ideal monitor for this camera I found. It's confined to the wire length and doesn' trepond well with 3rd party apps.

question
I want to use this on a Sony A&r11 only for still photo work, will the screen rotate and fill when in portrait mode? (its the big problem with the rear viewfinder on the Sony as it can be turned up to allow viewing in portrait mode) is this monitor a good choice for still photographic work?
No it does not rotate, I suggest the Small HD monitor as this will fill your requirements and is in my opinion superior, I use the Clm 55 because I am forced to as it is the only monitor that fits in my underwater monitor housing and works fine for this.However I too have the Sony A7sII and use the Small HD 7 Oled monitor for commercial work. Hope this helps in your decision RegardsGlen
