Accsoon CineView M7 and M7 Pro Monitors Upgraded for Camera Control for Sony and Canon Mirrorless Cameras

Accsoon has rolled out a major firmware update for its CineView M7 and M7 Pro smart monitors, enabling direct camera control for selected Sony and Canon mirrorless models. The free upgrade lets users adjust key settings such as focus, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, white balance, and trigger recordings – all via the monitors’ 7-inch touchscreens.

The new feature supports cameras including the Sony A7S III, A7 IV, A9 III, FX30, FX3, A7C II, as well as the Canon R5, R6, R5 II, R6 II, R7 and R8. According to Accsoon, the monitors’ high-speed processors ensure minimal input lag, providing smooth and precise operation – an important factor when working with on-set camera controls.

Simple setup and intuitive operation

Activating camera control is straightforward. A USB-C data cable connects the monitor to the camera, and once the function is enabled in the monitor menu, on-screen control icons appear. These give quick access to different parameter layouts and record controls.

A dedicated touch focus screen clears the interface for easy selection of focus points, allowing operators to tap or drag to reposition focus, with support for all autofocus zone modes. The monitors can also emulate a half-shutter press to initiate autofocus when needed.

Recording can be triggered simultaneously on both the monitor and camera. The CineView M7 and M7 Pro record h.264 or h.265 proxy files for fast turnaround workflows, while the camera captures full-resolution footage internally. This bi-directional triggering means either device can start and stop both recordings in sync.

Part of a growing feature set

This update is the first in a planned series, with Accsoon aiming to add compatibility for more Sony and Canon models, as well as other brands.

In case you missed it, here’s our video interview about the monitors from NAB 2025:

Originally launched with wireless monitoring, calibrated Rec.709 color, and high-brightness displays, the CineView M7 and M7 Pro were already positioned as versatile tools for professional productions. The M7 Pro adds Accsoon’s proprietary low-latency wireless transmission with a range of up to 1,200ft, while both models offer LUT support, SDI/HDMI cross conversion, rugged aluminum housings, and high-performance processing.

The camera control firmware is available now as a free download from Accsoon’s website.
