The zip holds the same LUT twice: a 65-point file for editing, and a 33-point file for monitoring on a camera or in an app, or for older apps that won't load the larger one.

Checked against Sony's own LUT and tested on our Sony FX30 footage.

With the LUT

Shot on Sony FX30 (S-Log3).

The LUT converts S-Log3 with S-Gamut3.Cine color, as the manufacturer publishes them, into Rec.709 through the ACES 2.0 output (SDR, 100 nits).

Built from: Sony, Technical Summary for S-Gamut3.Cine/S-Log3 and S-Gamut3/S-Log3.

Set up the FX5

  • Project > Base Setting > Shooting Mode: Flexible ISO / Cine EI Quick / Cine EI (log); Project > Cine EI/Flexible ISO Setting > Input Color Space: S-Gamut3.Cine/SLog3 or S-Gamut3/SLog3
  • Base ISO in log modes: ISO 800, ISO 4000, ISO 12800, or ISO 800 (Dual Gain); Cine EI Quick picks it automatically
  • Preset LUTs s709 / 709(800%) / S-Log3; 3D LUT import supported

Exposure

Sony: in Cine EI, shooting at an EI equal to or lower than the base ISO is generally recommended (shoot at EI = base ISO for least noise and most latitude). FX5 help guide recommends keeping a fixed Exposure Index while recording in Cine EI / Cine EI Quick.
