 WHAT'S A "LENS-SENSOR" LUT?

My theory is that the only way to control your output is to use CUSTOM SETTINGS (& LUTs) for each lens-sensor combination. The reason is the CONTRAST, SHARPNESS and COLOR of light passing through each lens is different, and so is each sensor...For more details, check out this  VIDEO  this  BLOG  post, or this  PODCAST episode.

LENS-SENSOR

 LUTS 

I BELIEVE EVERY LENS NEEDS ITS OWN LUTS

BUY LUTS

 *IMPORTANT TIP:   Good to have you here! I just want to make sure you remember to use my custom settings while shooting, because these LUTs were just the last part of my process. My goal is now to get you close to SOOC (Straight Out of Camera) as possible, which makes the color grading process MUCH easier! You'll probably also need to add a little SHARPNESS (while editing) so here's an "EASY WAY to SHARPEN videos in DAVINCI RESOLVE FREE"

    MY CAMERA TESTS ARE ON YOUTUBE !

    Panasonic 45-150 (Panasonic GX85) NATURAL -0-0-0-0 vs. -5-4+3-4 + LUT

    TITLE: Panasonic 45-150 (Panasonic GX85) NATURAL -0-0-0-0 vs. -5-4+3-4 + LUT UPDATE: After my Re testing, I think these settings should be good enough to use WITHOUT my LUT (that means it works ALMOST SOOC!) CUSTOM, LENS-SENSOR SETTINGS: https://www.silverlightphotoco.com/camera-settings/panasonic-45-150-4-5.6-panasonic-gx85-natural IMPORTANT NOTE: A number of my early uploads to YouTube such as this one needed more color saturation (because the YouTube compression reduces the color a little). So, while I do recommend these CUSTOM SETTINGS, I recommend boosting the color a bit (before uploading to YouTube). OVERVIEW: In this video I show BEFORE & AFTER shots of using -0-0-0-0 vs. my corrected settings (which I come up with after extensive testing, etc.) SPECIAL THANKS TO: UsedPhotoPro.com (Meredith, 1-800-726-5544) Use this link to get free shipping: https://www.jdoqocy.com/click-100161146-13597005 http://www.GafferPower.com - American Made Premium Quality Tape http://Sweetwater.com (Derek, 1-800-222-4700 ext. 1243) #FakeFilmmakers #RealLUTs
    Nikon 55-200 VR (Panasonic GH4) CINELIKE D -0-0-0-0 vs -4-1+5-3 + "Real" LUT

    Nikon 55-200 VR (Panasonic GH4) CINELIKE D -0-0-0-0 vs -4-1+5-3 + "Real" LUT

    TITLE: Nikon 55-200 VR (Panasonic GH4) CINELIKE D -0-0-0-0 vs -4-1+5-3 WHAT I USED: I used a Panasonic GH4, on a tripod, with a Nikon 55-200 VR (version 1) shot in 30p, exported at 24p...the settings that I used (and LUT) are also here: https://www.silverlightphotoco.com/product-page/lut-nikon-55-200-vr-unfiltered-panasonic-gh4-cinelike-d ABOUT THIS LENS: This inexpensive, kit telephoto lens started out with too much contrast, a little too much sharpness and WAY too much color. These corrected settings improve the dynamic range and color accuracy and leave just a minor tweak for the LUT.

    Tokina 11-16 2.8 ii (Panasonic GH4) CINELIKE D -0-0-0-0 vs. -5-5+5-0

    TITLE: Tokina 11-16 2.8 ii (Panasonic GH4) CINELIKE D -0-0-0-0 vs. -5-5+5-0 LEARN MORE: More camera settings are on my website: https://www.silverlightphotoco.com OVERVIEW: If you think using in-camera noise reduction is bad on the GH4, think again. Here is a demo of why it's actually GOOD to use NR, especially with the GH4 for certain lenses (if they're too sharp) and it makes it a better low-light tool too. -------------------- TECHNICAL NOTES -------------------- LIGHTS: OUTDOORS (ambient) CAMERAS: CAMERA #1, Panasonic GH4 LENS #1, Tokina 11-16 2.8 ii AUDIO: (On-camera...sorry.)

    Minolta AF 50 1.7 (Panasonic GX85) NATURAL -0-0-0-0 vs. -2-2+5-0 + LUT

    TITLE: Minolta AF 50 1.7 (Panasonic GX85) NATURAL -0-0-0-0 vs. -2-2+5-0 + LUT UPDATE: A number of my early uploads to YouTube such as this one needed more color saturation (because the YouTube compression reduces the color a little). So, while I do recommend these CUSTOM SETTINGS, I recommend boosting the color a bit (before uploading to YouTube). OVERVIEW: In this video I figure out what the best picture profile settings are for another vintage lens when used on the Panasonic GX85.
