Re: Using a PC Monitor as an external monitor for DSLR?

A couple of things I can think of.

If the camera is set to NTSC or PAL, try switching to the other depending on which region you're in.

While it looks like the camera should supported HDMI live view, the manual doesn't mention it. Press play on the camera while the monitor is plugged in and see if anything appears on the monitor. You will have to have a video or picture in the memory card inside the camera, of course.
