Oh man I was ready to upgrade my EOS R to R6 II but this changes everything. Sorry just trying to understand it so with external monitor attached to R6 II camera LCD shuts off??? How do you change focus?
thanks in advance
Yes - I have been hoping for a firmware update or a work-around to get the monitor function to replicate the way that the R behaves when using the HDMI port… but so far no luck.
I haven’t found it too difficult to work with so far - the focus point can be moved with the joy stick and I’m mostly using manual focus for video…. but there are certainly occasions when I would like both monitors to be on (facing the camera monitor towards the subject, etc.). I’m considering buying a recorder/monitor so I can have that functionality returned.
The menu setting for the HDMI options gives the option to have signal going to both monitors, but it’s not possible to record to the card in the camera while this setting is on… I have no idea why, but it is the same as with the R6.

First thanks a lot for quick response.
I’m so puzzled with this decision on Canon’s part. Even R lets you use both. I’m also surprised that there’s almost no talk about this. I don’t think Sony or Panasonic are approaching this the same way. I’ll have to check.
Thanks again
