I Made a Sony FX3/FX30 False Color LUT for FREE

In this one I want to share a few LUTs I recently made that allow you to get false colors internally in your Sony FX3, FX30 and a few other Sony cameras that film in S-Log3, SGamut3.Cine.

Important note: I forgot to mention this in the video, but in order for the false colors to act correctly, you would need to use them on ISO800 and above as with the ones below 800 the clipping levels for highlights change. Something to keep in mind.

[@majorvyb4118]

Thanks! These are great. Can you share a chart of what each color represents (on the log FC and Rec709 FC) and the IRE range?

[@georgekamenov_]

The colors for both were based off of the False Color chart for the Sony Venice (however that one has a few extra colors that mine don't, but my LUTs still have the main ones you need).

[@Atte388]

@@georgekamenov_ Thanks for your effort! Those LUTs seem to work well, but I have a one small suggestion regarding them if you don't mind: I would like to see a version without the orange color on the areas near the clipping point. In some situations I had slight difficulties judging whether a certain area of a scene was actually clipped or not. I'm not sure if this is just my personal issue or something that others might notice too, but I just wanted to share my experiences so far. I really appreciate your work regardless!

[@georgekamenov_]

The thing is, there's no IRE specifically mapped to orange. What you're seeing is just the transition between the yellow which is just under the white clip, and red, which is actual white clipping. Only way I can think of doing things to get rid of that orange you're seeing is if I got rid of the yellow and only leave red for fully clipped areas, but for me personally, having that yellow to be able to push exposure as high as I can while still not losing information, but having an indication I'm about to, is more useful. Hope I was able to word that in an understandable way haha

[@Atte388]

@@georgekamenov_ Oh, I see. Maybe I'm just so used to using zebras as an indicator for clipped highlights so that's why a more graduated exposure tool might feel a bit challenging to master. :)

Been trying out this for a week. Now i cant live without this. Thanks

[@georgekamenov_]

Glad to hear it's been helping you out!

[@SevShin]

Thanks for this !

[@georgekamenov_]

You're welcome! Happy to help :)

IMO false color as a very useful exposure tool, LUT-workflow and classic shutter angle are basic features of a cinema camera - especially in 2024. It’s so strange that they weren’t included in FX3 and FX30 from the start

[@samf5258]

ty, legend.

[@georgekamenov_]

You're welcome!

[@yaremaholota]

Hey George! Thank you! Would this work on a Flexible ISO mode with ZV-E1?

[@georgekamenov_]

I believe so. As long as you use it on the first base ISO or above it should display correctly. But it shouldn't be used at ISOs lower than the first base as then the whites clip at different levels and you don't get access to the full dynamic range of the sensor.

[@a1film-dk]

Just bought them..Do you have a chart showing which colors correspond to specific IRE levels ? Thanks for a good product :)

[@georgekamenov_]

Thanks, appreciate the support! These were based on the chart for the Sony Venice false colors so you can use that one as a reference. Though mine don't have absolutely all of the same colors as I didn't really personally need them when making these. But it still has the main ones for underexposed or overexposed areas, pre-clipping and skin tones.

[@itsAvient]

will this work on the sony a6500? i tried following your menu settings but i can't find LUTs. maybe my camera is too old :( thanks for the info though! it was very informative

[@georgekamenov_]

Don't think you can import LUTs on that camera, so no. These are meant for the newer cameras that allow you to import LUTs. You could technically put these on an external monitor, but in general I wouldn't recommend you use s-log3 on the a6500 as it's only 8 bit and doesn't hold up well. For older Sony cameras s-log2 is the better option.

[@itsAvient]

@@georgekamenov_ so grateful for your explanation. I will continue to use slog2 then, i'm very new so those likely aren't even my most important issues as everything is like new to me. Cheers!

[@claule11]

Hey will these work on the a7siii/zv-e1 with 640 as the base?

[@georgekamenov_]

I believe so. As long as you're shooting at your camera's base or higher they should work correctly. You might have issues shooting at ISOs lower than the first base because the sensor clips whites at different levels at that point.

[@JonatanCastro]

First!

[@ambition2959]

This has existed already. There’s a LUT for it

[@georgekamenov_]

Yes, it has. Other people have made these types of LUTs, but like I said, the ones I've seen either monitor FC only on LOG or only on Rec709. Which is why I set up 2 of them, because there are situations where having both is better than only having one of them. Plus these are pretty much free, so there's that.
