False Color / Colour LUTs for V-Log / Real Time LUT use on Lumix S5II

Here’s some free False Colour LUTs for your LUMIX (V-Log) Camera. On the S5II I suggest you use the REAL TIME LUT to quickly switch to this False Colour LUT, loading them up via the LUT Library function. I’ve also added a Arri style False Colour and Atomos style False Colour LUT inside the zip. The other camera False Colour values can easily be found on the googleverse. These values are for use under V-Log.

  • Copy the LUTs to your SD card root folder and use your camera’s V Log or LUT Library (on S5II) to install.
* Values taken from the Panasonic Varicam site.

The colours above represent their IRE % range values. Therefore,

Black Clip = Purple (7.3% to 10.2%)
Upper Area of Black Level Clip = Blue (10.3% to 13.2%)
Neutral / Middle Grey = Green (40.5% to 43.6%)
One Stop Over from Middle Grey = Pink (48.7% to 51.8%)
Lower white Level Clip = Yellow = (94% to 96%)
White Level Clip = Red (>=97% IRE)

*Note: All other areas of the exposed image are displayed in black and white. The essential ones are coloured.

Lighter Skin tones fall between 48% IRE to 78% IRE (Pink to Light Grey)
Darker Skin tones 38% to 48+% More Green
