05Mar Aputure VS-3 IPS monitor Firmware update
If you are an Aputure VS-3 monitor owner, there’s a new firmware update out. Version 1.3 corrects the menu system when using the monitor flip mode. If you are running a firmware version prior to 1.1 it will also correct the focus peaking issue that basically made the menu unreadable while enabled.
I’ve been using the Aputure VS-3 monitor monitor since it’s release and it’s done a great job even after being dropped a few times. It now suffers from a little bit of light bleed on the bottom right hand corner, but I still use it in the studio on a regular bases. It isn’t as durable as some of the smaller monitors I use, but it hasn’t failed me yet.
You can find the Aputure VS-3 review here, if you’re interested in finding out more about this little work horse monitor.

Does it still drain battery when switched off?

Still has that problem. You have to remove the battery when not in use.

I have the VS-3 connected via HDMI to my 5D MkIII, but the out resolution shows 480, not 1080. I have the latest firmware installed (1.3b which is recommended for serial numbers higher than the one quoted on the the Aputure website). I’m new to DSLR video. Am I missing something?
Thanks

You need to change the 5dmkIII’s output setting if you have any onscreen displays it’ll revert back to 480.
