Q3 photos via HDMI

Hello,

As a Q2 owner, one of the major upgrade incentives to the Q3 I see the improved connectivity with USB-C and HDMI. 

My question: Is it simply possible to watch images on the Q3 on a TV, since this is a more complex task to accomplish with the Q2 via WiFi (I only know to load them into Lightroom and then use e.g. the Lightroom App for an Apple TV).

I ask because all research just brought me the info that the HDMi is mainly thought for video and external recording.

All the best,

Sebastian

The Leica Q3 is available for pre-order at B&H Photo Video and Adorama

It should work via FOTOS and Airplay.

Yes, if it’s a HDMI output it will output audio & video from camera. Get a micro HDMI to HDMI cable. Photos should output thru HDMI also. Works that way with all other cameras I have had.

@mrlouie Thanks! I actually bought the Q3 in the meantime and the HDMI cable arrives today so I will give it a try.

@jaapv Thanks, I didn’t think of that option. I almost never use the mirroring function of the Apple TV due to the lag. But I will give it a try!

I just tried it, found a micro hdmi cable I had put away. Worked fine no issues. This is good cable  to keep if you travel and want to view photos on external TV monitor.
