Achieve Perfect Exposure with Sony S-Log3 Cameras
Dial In Accurate Exposure Every Time
Shooting in Sony S-Log3 can be tricky—underexposure often introduces noise, especially when using Sony’s built-in Rec.709 LUT or “Display Assist.” While exposing to the right (ETTR) using your histogram can help, it often leads to blown-out highlights when previewing with standard LUTs. That’s where these custom LUTs come in.

Achieve Perfect Exposure with Z CAM E2 & E2-M4
Warm, Creamy Skin Tones—Perfected for Weddings and Natural Light
Z-Log2 footage can often look flat or washed out, especially in uncontrolled lighting. This LUT pack was designed specifically for the Z CAM E2 (Classic) and E2-M4, with a focus on delivering warm, pink, creamy skin tones that flatter real people in real light.
