Is Nikon D3200 compatible with external monitor?

Photography Asked by AA Mon on October 20, 2020

Yes I do realize other people asked this question before mostly about android tablets. I am not looking to macgyver something that limits 80% of the camera functionality and most answers focus on that.

I just want to see myself while filming on a small mounted monitor that has decent resolution and latency. Is this available? When I connect my camera with HDMI to a TV any recording is disabled and you can only watch which makes me think camera monitors work the same way?

Also if not how do I make sure next DSLR I buy has that feature?

Thank you.

Not while recording using Nikon's, Adobe's, or any other applications that use Nikon's SDK.

Not even while using applications, such as digiCamControl, that allow controlling Nikon D3x00 series cameras via tethering but don't give a Live View image on an external monitor.

Don't purchase a Nikon D3x00 series camera.

What you are looking for is the ability to do tethered shooting with external Live View support. Nikon's D3x00 series of cameras don't offer that level of functionality.

Yes, you can monitor LIVE! Go to your camera menu, select [SETTINGS][HDMI]{Device Control] set of [OFF]. Works like a Champ!

I have a D3200. I just commented about installing and testing Digicam Control on my Windows 10 laptop. I've also just installed and tested qDslrDashboard with my Android. Both of these options work like a champ with the D3200. No issues. Image as clear as a bell.
