Importing a Desired Base Look

You can import up to 16 3D LUT files, created on a computer or other device, as a base look from a memory card.

  • File format: CUBE file (*.cube) for a 17-grid or 33-grid 3D LUT created using Catalyst Browse or RAW Viewer
  • Input color gamut/Gamma: S-Gamut3.Cine/S-Log3 or S-Gamut3/S-Log3

Importing from a memory card

You can import a 3D LUT file from a memory card.

  1. On the computer or other device, save the 3D LUT file in the specified folder on the memory card.

    Memory card Folder path
    SDXC /PRIVATE/SONY/PRO/LUT/
    CFexpress Type A /SONY/PRO/LUT/
  2. Insert a memory card on which a 3D LUT file is saved into card slot B.
  3. Execute [Paint/Look] – [Base Look] – [Import from Media(B)] in the full menu.
  4. Select an import destination.

  5. Select a 3D LUT file to import.

    Follow the on-screen instructions. The unit handles a 3D LUT file as a base look.

  6. Select the imported 3D LUT file using [Paint/Look] – [Base Look] – [Select] in the full menu.
  7. Set [Paint/Look] – [Base Look] – [Input] and [Output] in the full menu to match the attributes of the imported 3D LUT file.

Adjusting for underexposure

If there is a tendency for underexposure when auto exposure is selected when using an imported base look, adjust [Paint/Look] – [Base Look] – [AE Level Offset] in the full menu.

Note

  • Just importing a 3D LUT file does not affect the image. Load the imported 3D LUT file using [Paint/Look] – [Base Look] – [Select] in the full menu.
  • If [Input] is not set correctly, the proper look will not be obtained.
  • The [Input] / [Output] / [AE Level Offset] menu item settings are applied to the base look selected using [Select]. If multiple 3D LUT files are imported, select [Select] for each 3D LUT file, and configure [Input] / [Output] / [AE Level Offset] individually for each file.
  • The configured [Input] / [Output] / [AE Level Offset] settings are saved for each 3D LUT file.
  • The base look/LUT selection options for imported 3D LUT files are common to [SDR(BT.709)] / [HDR(HLG)] / log shooting mode, but color gamut and gamma conversion are not performed according to these modes.
  • Imported 3D LUT files are not deleted when [Maintenance] – [All Reset] – [Reset] is executed in the full menu.
  • The file size of a 33-grid CUBE file to be imported is estimated to be approximately 1 MB. CUBE files exceeding this size cannot be imported.
    Depending on the file size, even if a file can be imported, it may not be possible to save the original CUBE file in the non-volatile memory of the unit. In this case, metadata recording for the 3D LUT file will not be possible, even if [Project] – [Base Setting] – [Cine EI/Flexible ISO Setting] – [Embed LUT File] is set to [On] in the full menu.
    A icon will be displayed in front of the name of these base looks in the list of base looks.
  • If a scene file uses a user base look and the original Cube data for the user base look is not saved on the camera, the scene file cannot be saved to a memory card. In this case, a icon will be displayed in front of the scene file name in the scene file list.
  • The initial values (such as ISO sensitivity) may vary depending on the look. When changing the look, double-check that the settings are as intended.
