💡 Should You Film in Log?

Filming in LOG captures the maximum dynamic range from your camera but results in flat, desaturated footage. The Gamut BaseLUTs give you an instant Rec.709 conversion — allowing you to monitor accurate colors on set and simplify grading in post. By applying these LUTs, you’ll know your exposure and white balance are correct while shooting, saving time and ensuring consistent results.

📊 Why Use Gamut Instead of Default Sony LUTs?

• Default Sony LUTs often produce inaccurate colors and harsh contrast transitions.
• Gamut BaseLUTs maintain smoother highlight roll-off, realistic skin tones, and more dynamic color depth.
• Rich, clean shadows and refined tonal separation ideal for cinematic workflows.

🏢 Commercial Workflow Ready

Because these LUTs are calibrated for accurate brand color reproduction, they are ideal for commercial shoots and projects where precision matters. When paired with a color checker chart, Gamut BaseLUTs ensure brand hues remain authentic, minimizing time spent correcting shifts in post-production.

🎨 Works with All Gamut LUTs

Use these conversion LUTs as your foundation before applying creative LUTs like Dolce, Immersion, or Adagio. They are optimized to stack cleanly with all Gamut creative packs — just apply your creative LUT at around 50% intensity for maximum flexibility.
