INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing Leeming LUT Pro™, the most accurate and professional Look
Up Tables (LUTs) for your camera.
The LUTs have been carefully developed to get the maximum dynamic range and colour
accuracy out of the supported profiles, giving you unparalleled ec709 precision as well as
perfect camera matching with other supported cameras in the Leeming LUT Pro™ range.
Use them in conjunction with ETT shooting principles and you will get the highest
possible quality images out of the camera every time.
I am confident you will find these the most accurate LUTs for your camera. Anything less
and I wouldn't have put my name on them!
Enjoy :)

LICENCE
You are granted a personal licence to use Leeming LUT Pro™ on two computers. For use
with more computers, please contact Visceral Psyche Films for bulk discount pricing. You

other LUTs for derivative use (i.e. making creative LUTs using Leeming LUT Pro™ as the
underlying base), whether they be for sale or not. Please respect the work that has gone
into the LUTs and support those supporting you.
COMPATIBILITY
Leeming LUT Pro™ is compatible with any software or hardware device that supports a
33x33x33 cube LUT. For a full list, please see the website.
REQUIREMENTS
1. Panasonic S Series camera.
2. Spectrally neutral white or grey card, for white balancing the camera (eg. the white
balance side of an X- ite Colorchecker Passport is designed for this).
3. Leeming LUT Pro™ for the Panasonic S Series.
NOTE: Items highlighted in yellow have an adverse effect on LUT accuracy if changed
away from the recommended values in this guide.

QUICK REFERENCE OF IMPORTANT CAMERA SETTINGS
The settings below are recommended for the LUTs to work properly, in conjunction with an
accurate white balance and using the ETT zebras to show where the highlights of an
image are clipping.
If you deviate from these settings, your colorimetry and luma curves won’t match precisely
to ec709 and you may get other errors in your footage. You can find the details of how to
set these in the next section.

FULL CAMERA SETUP GUIDE
Based on the camera listed on the title page of this guide. Your camera may not have all
the same features so adjust as necessary.
1. Set the camera mode to Movie using the Top Dial and the exposure measurement
type to the white square (left-most icon). Set the Focus mode dial to MF (manual
focus) unless you are using an autofocus capable lens.
2. Press the MENU button to enter the camera’s main menu system. Go to the first tab
(the MOVIE mode icon).
3. Image Quality 1 – Set Exposure mode to M, ISO Sensitivity (Video) as required.
Dual Native ISO can be set to Auto or you can choose Low or High as you prefer.
Keep Master Pedestal at 0.
4. Photo Style – set the parameters for each profile as per the Quick eference Table
above (the LUTs require these to function optimally).
5. Image Quality 2 – set SS/Gain Operation to Angle/ISO, i.Dynamic ange OFF, Filter
Settings OFF.
6. Image Format – Set ec File Format to MOV as this provides the most options. Set
ec Quality as desired. I strongly advise using 10bit for V-Log and HLG profiles as
8bit options WILL cause banding artifacts in your footage. My recommended
starting profile is 4K 10bit 24p LongGOP for filmmaking. Set Luminance Level to 0-
1023 (or 0-255 when using 8bit ec Format options). This may be greyed out
depending on the profile in use. If you have a AW capable camera, you can set
HDMI AW Data Output to ON and take advantage of the full Pro es AW or
B AW image. Note that some assist functions are disabled when selecting AW.
7. Focus – Set Focus Peaking ON, Focus Peaking Sensitivity +2, Display color as
desired (I use green).
8. Audio – Set sound ec Level Disp ON, then set your parameters as needed for
your particular external microphone. Set Sound Output to EALTIME.
9. Others (Video) – Set Image Stabilizer as desired.
10. Go to the second main menu tab (the GEA icon).

11. Image Quality – Set ISO Increments to 1/3 EV, Extended ISO as desired.
12. Focus/Shutter 1 – Set MF Assist as desired. I recommend Press Joystick ON and
MF Assist Display FULL.
13. Operation 2 – Set Video ec Button ( emote) ON.
14. Monitor/Display (Photo) 1 – Set Constant Preview ON, Histogram OFF and the rest
as desired.
15. Monitor/Display (Photo) 2 – Set Expo.Meter OFF and the rest as desired.
16. Monitor/Display (Video) 1 – V-Log View Assist – If you are using V-Log (non- AW),
place the monitoring VLT file from your LUT ZIP file in the root directory of your SD
card, place it in Slot 1, Select V-Log View Assist, ead LUT File, select
LEEMING3.VLT, save to Set1. From there, choose LUT Select – LEEMING3.VLT
and LUT View Assist (Monitor) ON. You can optionally output the same file to your
HDMI port if required but BE CA EFUL as this will bake in the LUT in a low bit
depth. DO NOT use this option if you are using an external recorder! The zebras
and histogram retain their pre-LUT levels so you don’t need to adjust anything when
monitoring.
17. HLG View Assist – Set Monitor to MODE1 and HDMI to AUTO.
18. Set Zebra Pattern to ZEB A1 with the parameters as per the Quick eference table
above. Note that the zebras listed are closest to clipping point and provide very little
safety margin if showing. For more safety margin reduce each listed option by 5%.
19. Monitor/Display (Video) 2 – Set WFM/Vectorscope OFF (I recommend using the
ZEB AS to judge ETT exposure clipping for the various profiles).
20. Monitor/Display (Video) 2 – Set ed EC Frame Indicator ON.
21. In/Out – Set HDMI ec Output as needed for your external monitoring. I
recommend using the 4:2:2 10bit output mode to maximise external video quality
and Info Display OFF and HDMI MF Assist Output OFF to provide a clean feed.
22. Go to the third main menu tab (the SPANNE /W ENCH icon).
23. Card/File – Set your Folder / File Settings as desired (I recommend naming your
files with something other than the default P100**** to help differentiate your files
from other similar cameras on a multi-cam shoot). Set Double Card Slot Function
as desired for your preferred operating mode.
24. Monitor/Display 1/2 – Set your desired parameters.
25. In/Out 1/2 – Set Beep options OFF for a quiet studio. TV Connection – Set HDMI
Mode (Playback) AUTO, LUT and HLG View Assists (HDMI) OFF.
26. Setting – You can save your camera settings here once finished. Be careful with
Save to Custom Mode as switching to those modes will often save ALL settings
including ISO, WB and lens f-stop etc which may not be what you want in the heat
of the moment when changing settings.
27. Others – Set System Frequency as needed (NTSC, PAL, Cinema) for framerate
options in the ec File Format settings from earlier.
28. My Menu settings – use this area to save shortcuts to your most used settings for
easy access when shooting.
29. Playback Mode – Set your View Assist options as desired for playback.
You are now ready to use Leeming LUT Pro™ with the maximum picture quality available.

principles to get the most dynamic range out of your sensor, as well as the associated

HARDWARE / SOFTWARE QUIRKS AND BUGS
1. I DO NOT recommend V-Log or HLG for 8bit 4:2:0 shooting as it causes
unacceptable banding due to the lack of tonal precision in 8 bits (this is NOT the
fault of the LUTs).
ATOMOS NINJA V / BLACKMAGIC VIDEO ASSIST 12G RECORDER SETUP
The LUTs are compatible with external monitors and recorders which use the 33x33x33
cube format.
One issue which arises with using the camera’s HDMI output is that it sometimes feeds the
wrong levels the device is expecting. For the Atomos Ninja V (with firmware 10.6+) as a
guide, set the Legalize function as per the table below to correct this. Make sure you
DON’T have a viewing LUT active when setting this up, otherwise your Legalize setting will
be greyed out and unavailable to change. To ensure your externally recorded clips match
both on screen and in post, have the Pro III LUTs applied and active in the Ninja V.

DAVINCI RESOLVE CLIP ATTRIBUTES FOR ATOMOS NINJA V FOOTAGE
When importing clips into Davinci esolve and NOT using the Legalize ON option in the
recorder, there exists the ability to adjust the Data Levels of the externally recorded
footage between Full and Video using Clip Attributes. The following table lists what should
be set for each profile to have the LUT work properly.
