Canon R6 Mk2 4k Clean HDMI Out AND recording to the SD Card

 

OK - after reading many posts, including this excellent comment I was able to set up Clean HDMI output AND record to the SD card at the same time.

From the previous comment 2 years ago:

First make sure you're set to shoot 4k.

Next in the menu, Red Tab 8 > HDMI display > Monitor Only

Keep in mind that you will lose ability to record internally when outputting clean HDMI.

Add: Check your menu Yellow Tab 4 > HDMI resolution > Auto

 


Now, set the camera to video; connect the HDMI connector and launch OBS.

You will see the camera LCD display on the computer monitor in OBS.

If there are overlays; tap 'Info' until you get a clean screen.

Now touch the video record button on the top, and click the 'Record' button in OBS. You're recording 4K to the card and 4K to the HDMI output.
