How to Import and Apply Custom LUTs on the Sony ZV-E10 II

Step 1: Prepare the LUT File

  1. Format the Memory Card:

    • Insert an SD card into your computer.

    • Format the card to ensure it's clean and compatible with the ZV-E10 II.

  2. Create the Required Folder Structure:

    • On the SD card, create the following folder path:

      • /Private/Sony/PRO/LUT

    • Ensure all folder names are case-sensitive and match exactly.

  3. Transfer the LUT File:

    • Copy your .cube LUT file (e.g., YourLUT.cube) into the LUT folder you just created.

Step 2: Import the LUT into the Sony ZV-E10 II

  1. Insert the Memory Card:

    • Place the SD card back into your ZV-E10 II.

  2. Access the LUT Import Menu:

    • Turn on the camera and press the Menu button.

    • Navigate to:

      • Exposure/Color (icon: plus-minus)

      • Color/Tone

      • Manage User LUTs

      • Import/Edit

  3. Import the LUT:

    • Select an available user slot (User1–User16) to register the LUT.

    • Choose the memory card as the source.

    • Select the YourLUT.cube file and confirm the import.

Step 3: Apply the LUT to Your Recording

  1. Enable Log Shooting:

    • Navigate to:

      • Shooting

      • Image Quality/Rec

      • Log Shooting Settings

    • Set Log Shooting to On.

  2. Select the Imported LUT:

    • Go to:

      • Exposure/Color

      • Color/Tone

      • Select LUT

    • Choose the LUT you imported (e.g., YourLUT).

  3. Monitor with the LUT Applied:

    • To view the effect of the LUT on your monitor while shooting:

      • Navigate to:

        • Exposure/Color

        • Color/Tone

        • Display LUT

      • Set Display LUT to On.

    • This allows you to see the graded image on the camera's display without affecting the recorded footage.

Note: The Sony ZV-E10 II allows you to import and display custom LUTs for monitoring purposes. However, the LUT is not baked into the recorded footage; the camera records in the selected picture profile (e.g., S-Log3), providing flexibility for color grading in post-production.
