How To Install USER LUTs On Sony Cameras: a6700, ZV E1, a7c II, FX3, FX30

[@seandewispelaere]

I love the LUTs feature on these new Sony cameras. Here are 5 other newer settings and features that blew my mind: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d4e7m5aql5WGd9ksi=oOiM93v2d1uCW54Q

[@FrankDiNardi]

A7siii needs this!

[@AntonyEliezerFilms]

[@VipulDK]

I have been looking for step-by-step instructions to do this for some time. This is the first video that I came across that shows how to do this so this is perfect! Thank you for sharing your work. I am subscribed!

[@seandewispelaere]

Love to hear it and welcome to the channel

[@Kamal_Actkins]

Thank you so much. I tried to do this myself and could not figure it out. You gained a subscriber.

[@BAMZAC]

You don't have to shoot in log mode. If you leave that off and go into picture profiles you can scroll down until you get to your user luts. Basically you can bake your lut into the image straight out of camera if you want. At least on the FX30.

[@49erfan916]

What ISO do you shoot at?

[@shuggfilmzandstudio2354]

But shooting in log is safer to do just in case you change your mind about the lut. As someone that fit weddings, I happen to change my mind on my colors once I start editing, so have the lut baked to your footage isn't advised unless you only do vlogs and social media stuff

[@funnybeingme]

@@shuggfilmzandstudio2354 But he is saying there's an option to have the LUT baked in where the video never mentioned it. Not everyone wants to color grade after the fact. Some just want to shoot and share to social media or youtube, like shooting in S Cinetone.

[@hundo369]

You are my new go-to now for tips. No BS fluff. Just right to the point. Just got a ZV-E1 to compliment my A7iv so I'm going hard on using the ZV as my main video cam now but will apply what I can to my A7. Thanks dude. You deserve way more subs.

[@asiadmajeed]

Hold on, you put the SD in the computer. You lost me 😂 Great video brother. Awesome tutorial, easy to follow and understand. And at the same time keeps the viewer engaged with different cuts and shoots. Gj 💪

[@seandewispelaere]

Ah yea it's a VERY missed step haha Glad you liked it, thank you for the feedback, and I hope all is well with you

[@asiadmajeed]

@@seandewispelaere all good here, let’s catch up soon. Want to run video ideas by you.

[@vwjeff]

Thank you Sean for listening! ZVE1 is my camera. You answered my problem by showing folder creating. 🎉

[@seandewispelaere]

No doubt 🤙

[@darrenchen9825]

So actually I discovered once you finish installing, instead of going to log(I didn't even turn it on), just open it from picture profile from color/tone, it already has preset profiles, you can just select the ones you just installed and replace them, and the color graded image will just stay with full quality instead of flat/noisy image. I found this feature so amazing and convenient, it worked on both of my fx3 and a7cii. I'm not 100 percent sure about the older models but I think the newer models all have the ability to do that.

[@drnareshchauhan]

What a timing I was thinking of installing one on my zve1

[@seandewispelaere]

Ha nice got your back 🤙

[@jollylucario2051]

Just got an a6700 today to start my cinematography journey💪

Any chance these internal luts can be used for jpg or photos

Unfortunately not

Siiiiiiiiii, un Video Genial. Corto y directo a lo que importa...👌💪

[@LekkerBang]

Guys dont be dumb like me make sure your camera is dialled into video mode and not camera mode before freaking out that your camera menu is different hahah thanks for the awesome video!

[@bennieferinga9609]

Nice video, thanks for sharing. I recently bought the A7CII, great little camera. I don't shoot much video, so my question is: Can these LUTs be used for photos too?

[@RNWLL]

Apparently that's not possible. I also have an a7cii 😅

[@susiesanchez9537]

No you will just have to use the luts post . Basically in Lightroom

[@karlj.4798]

Just got the A7c II replacing a fujifilm X-E4. Hope I did the right thing but still keeping the x100v for the time being. Thanks for the video.... have a great day.

[@skycreationsllc8368]

Another great informative video Sean. Thanks. I use the FX-30 and a7iv

[@seandewispelaere]

So glad you liked it and that is a fantastic combo

[@GadgetsGearCoffee]

How color accurate is the onboard screen to how it'll look? though I do realize everyone's displays will make the color look different

[@alphatwiss]

Thank you man! I’m using the EVz1 and always wondered how to donthis

[@seandewispelaere]

No problem, dude - I got you covered with all the tips and tricks for using the ZV E1. Let me know if there's anything else you need help with

[@SteveLacante]

Very good explained. Thx!

Ordered a7c II, coming from Fuji. Really excited about it!

[@altynnazar]

Thank you Sean, I'm using a6700

[@theSFCchannel]

JUST GOT MY sONY A6700 a little under a week ago. Im very impressed with it, jsut awaiting my smallrig camera cage v mount batter ridgid pro cheese board and mat box. Luckily i dont need to get a monitor as (and heres the kicker) I have a Sony Xperia 1 V PHONE, so the software that comes as standard allows it to become A monitor, PLUS recorder PLUS a live streamer with no additional hardware or software. Oneo f the advantages of using Sony stuff :)

[@TrustNoJuan_GM]

Sony fx 30 are theyre certain luts for cameras ? Or the ones for da vinci work ?

[@Bleutimes]

Thanks Sean ! Really Helpful

[@limitlesscapture]

ZV-E1 and the A7Cii with Sandisk SD cards, thanks!

[@seandewispelaere]

Great camera combo (I can relate ;))

[@Anne-sv9gc]

If you install a LUT on the camera, when you export your video to your editing software, will you need to apply the same LUT on top of the video in post production, like in Premiere Pro, in order to see the changes (i.e., not see the flat grey look)? Basically, do we need to apply the LUT twice (once in camera and a second time in post production)?

[@reyjohn88]

Have you got your answer anywhere? I also want to know this. My camera is a6700

[@aman.2912]

Hey man, great video as usual. But I have 1 problem. I downloaded the official sony lut. There are 2 files. One is the normal slog to 709 and another that is slog to 709 'TypeA'. Which one should I import into my a6700?

[@DWebbTheOldHead]

I pulled the trigger and copped the a6700 for my birthday. I’m trying to get a sense on how to use LUTS, and installing them, but all of it is Chinese Math to me.

[@injectionAI]

Also, why are you using the Low Contrast version of the LUT?

[@seandewispelaere]

I think that is more of the screen recording. It comes through a bit more contrasted in application.

[@filkollinz]

Hi Sean. I'm having difficulty trying to find Sony's SLOG3 Conversion LUT download link. The link you've supplied takes me to a page that does not appear to have a download link. I'm using a Sony ILCE-&CM2. Any ideas? Many thanks for this very helpful video.

[@Si-Amine]

Can LUT be used for photography as well ? I mean choosing LuT prior taking the shot ?!

[@iliyaershami3693]

in future i may come on a7iv?

[@publicprosecutoroftheunt6019]

Спасибо большое! Долго искал такой мануал - очень понятно все! Sony fx30 - Donbass, Donetsk, DPR, Russia!

[@Loutzatravel]

Question. Using the a7cii, if you can’t use both a conversion LUT and the creative LUT for preview, won’t it look different than in post. In my eyes without the conversion LUT, the camera is showing LOG to the LUT. Wouldn’t it need to be LOG> Conversion> and stylized LUT on the camera to be accurate?

[@nguyencongtuongnghiem1943]

Can I use this for photography only?

[@omstudio6677]

can i use Sony A7M4 Sir ?

[@savannahpiazza]

Great explanation 👏🏼

[@seandewispelaere]

Thank you and when are you jumping all in with SLOG3?

[@diggy8325]

... i woulkd try out this but i have not this Option LUT on the Pink Menü. I follow your instructions and create this Path and copy the .cube LUTs into but still not get the Menü to import on the Kamera... what did i wrong

[@prinsjos55]

Hi Sean, thanks for the explanation! I noticed you picked the TypeA lut from the Sony zip file. I'm using the a6700, is that the one to go with or could I even use them all? Basically: whats the difference with the other luts in the Sony zip file?

[@cj._pixs.__]

What about Sony zve 10? Does it have a lut?

[@gLOWbalx]

It's like a bad joke that Sony decided not to include the A7IV

[@dernierevision]

Well i have more expansive joke... it's called "what about the a7sIII ?"

[@seandewispelaere]

Yea...a bit of a miss there

[@dernierevision]

yep 🤣@@seandewispelaere ✌

[@Ryansavagesstla]

Nice I just bought my a7iv lol 😫😫😫😂

[@CarlBergsdorf]

It’s not totally unlikely we’ll see this in an update to the A7 IV but I wouldn’t hold my breath, Sony is often very slow and sparse with meaningful updates if any.

[@costagf]

Can they be used for PHOTOS on the a6700? so one can preview the image with the look directly and also BAKE IN the look to the JPGs?

[@theEVcouple]

what if my PC doesn't have an SD card slot? Can we do using USB? I get read-only error while trying to transfer the LUT files to my camera using USB mass storage option.

[@usidoretheblue2040]

If you're using multiple LUTs in series, you can use Davinci to export an equivalent single LUT

[@slf_rldtv4482]

Thank you! Really helpful. if I’m using an external monitor do I need to at the lut to that as well? Or is having it in body enough?

[@JeremiahBostwick]

I would say that the worst part about this feature is that exposure tools do no bypass the LUT. I don't need Zebras to tell me that with a LUT applied there is overexposure. I need it to tell me without the LUT applied whether or not there is over exposure. Because in post one of those two scenarios is recoverable, and the other isn't. All exposure tools should always bypass the LUT for this reason, because in order to get the best image and post and preserve the most amount of data, exposure needs to be pushed to the right on Sony, but if I have tools telling me that I'm "over exposed" when I'm not, then I can't expose the camera in an optimal way. Anyway, other than that, thanks for the quick instructional video.

[@seandewispelaere]

Can’t say I disagree here 🤙

[@mattm7426]

yep 100% right

[@DaviKrupp]

[@vishalsaha5987]

Hi Sean, If I want to record a zoom call. I want to save a log file (without LUT) in camera but to the zoom I send out a video signal with LUT applied so that it looks good while we talk. Is there a way to do it?

Are LUTs can be applied for photo instead of video, if not, why not, if Sony can apply LUT on photos, there gonna be huge selling point where Fuji is dictating market with their film simulation

can luts effetc pictuers as well? like backed in look to the photos?

@@seandewispelaeresame with me too with my Sony A7siii. I don’t see it anywhere

[@THEJOKEYJOKER]

I dont understand , I thought since luts are now set before recording than we can have a video file that is colored the way we want without needing post processing . Do we still need to do post processing ? what are luts for then ? I came from fujifilm where film simulations and recipes give you a video/still file with the colors u wanted without any editing. how can I have that in sony ? creative styles is not enough , it just has some highlighs shadows color saturation etc, thats not very interesting to me.
