Luminance Level should be set to 0-1023 for all 10bit shooting and 0-255 for 8bit
Cine-D shooting. When in HLG or V-LogL styles this setting will be greyed out.

Set Filter Settings OFF, Highlight Shadow 0, i.Dynamic and i.Resolution OFF,
Sound Output REALTIME, HDMI Rec Output as required. Make sure HLG or V-
LogL View Assist (HDMI) is set to OFF, otherwise your externally recorded footage
will not work with the LUTs, as you will have accidentally baked in the camera’s
‘look’.

whichever Double Slot Function you desire for recording to SD card 1 and 2.

You are now ready to use Leeming LUT Pro™ with the maximum picture quality available.
Be sure to visit the website to read up on how to use ETTR (Expose To The Right)
principles to get the most dynamic range out of your sensor, as well as the associated
Leeming LUT Pro™ LUT Installation Manual on how to apply the LUTs to your footage in
post-production:
HARDWARE / SOFTWARE QUIRKS AND BUGS
1.
Select your desired Photo Style for shooting. I don’t recommend V-LogL 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). HLG is not available in-camera for 8bit
shooting.
2.
Custom White Balance by pressing the WB button, selecting one of the Custom
slots, then aim the target square in the middle of the white balance card. Make sure
the image is correctly exposed (no clipping but not too dark), then press Set to get
the Custom White Balance. Get used to this white balancing process, as it’s the key
to maximum dynamic range across the three RGB channels.
