Anyone have an issue with the evf on a mini monitor screen motion stuttering? It works its just like its lagged? I know they are not the best but this one seems to be very funky. Almost like the refresh rate is off? Is there any settings I can adjust on it?

Dear Junior SF,

that sounds odd, please get in touch with our service team and let them have a look at you camera.
Does this effect show every time or only with specific settings (e.g. framerate)?

Best,

We have the same issue with the evf (eyepiece) on two alexa mini that we rent. Alexa plus has a smooth mode to fix this.

Yes, the smoothmode improves viewing:
With smooth mode on, the EVF image shutters less when panning. [...]
Note: Smooth mode is only possible with frame rates up to 30 fps and shutter angles of 180.0 or less. If smooth mode is switched on but not available, the camera issues a warning
The human eye is not fond of quick pans over contrasty scenes, so is the system in general; hence the recommended panning speed by the ASC.
There's a ASC Manual at issuu, see page 310ff if you want to dig into that topic.

Best,
Jan
