LUT
The image output from the SDI OUT2 connectors is 
configured using a Look-up table (LUT). The images shot 
with the camera are intended for processing in post-

shooting as-is on the scene. Setting a LUT changes the 
tone of the image displayed on a monitor connected to the 
SDI OUT2 connector, without affecting the main RAW 
image output, for ease of monitoring.

17×17×17 lattice to obtain a contour line signal for areas 
of smoothly varying luminous intensity. 
The recording signal is not affected, allowing the

performs color conversion employing a higher-degree 3D 
lattice grid.
