The Sony Venice is a pretty decent piece of high-end filmmaking equipment. Its (claimed) 15-stop dynamic range and especially its superb highlight roll-off produces beautiful imagery, indeed. Want the same look for the more budget-friendly Sony FS7, FS5 or even the a7 series of cameras?

Most of Sony’s prosumer to pro cameras sport a dynamic range of about 14 stops. The new Venice flagship cinema camera, however, is a different kind of beast. It’s rated at 15 stops of dynamic range. That’s why the official s709 LUT doesn’t work very well with these lower end cameras (if compared from Venice’s perspective) cameras. Alister Chapman (XDCam-User.com) has created a set of tweaked LUTs to cater for the needs of different Sony cameras and to bring you closer to the Venice look. Sony Venice Look LUTs You can download these bespoke LUTs directly from Alister Chapman’s own site, XDCam-User.com. He created those custom LUTs because quite a few users had problems downloading the official LUT by Sony (link).
