Can´t get my CFV-39 to work in Video Mode

[eksund]

Hallo

My CFV-39 does not seem to work properly in video mode.
All I get on the screen is a frame either black or white with a vertical stripe in opposite color(black or white). The stripe varies i width.

I have connected the back to both a 500 C/M and a 553ELX, with all necessary cables and with no cables and every possible variant in between.

The lens is set to F to keep the shutter open and the mirror and camerashutter is up.

I run Phocus on a MacBookPro. The back is connected via FW cable. I have tried different cables just to be sure.

Or... is it so that the CFV-39 don´t support the live mode?
Or... what are I doing wrong?

No vidéo mode with cfv.
Pehaps an update will allow this ?

Problem solved

Now it works as supposed.

The key was to set the exposuretime to 32 sek in Phocus.

It is not like the live view on a dslr, but it is really helpful setting the focus
spot on when photographing macro.
