The ZCAM E2-M4 LUT Bundle is a comprehensive toolkit designed to elevate your video production with precise color grading and exposure control. This bundle includes two specialized LUT packs: the ZCAM E2-M4 Base Pack and the ZCAM E2-M4 Skin-LUT Pack. These LUTs are tailored to enhance the performance of ZCAM E2 and E2-M4 cameras, providing superior color accuracy and exposure adjustments.

Why You Need the ZCAM E2-M4 LUT Bundle:

  • Enhanced Color Accuracy: The ZCAM E2-M4 Skin-LUT Pack is specifically designed to achieve warm, pink, and soft skin tones. Ideal for shooting weddings and other events, this pack modifies the red and green channels to deliver natural-looking skin tones that complement your footage. Whether you're using a ZCAM E2 (classic) or ZCAM E2-M4, these LUTs will bring a refined, cinematic quality to your images.

  • Improved Exposure: Log formats such as Z-log 2 can sometimes appear dull or washed out, making exposure challenging. The ZCAM E2-M4 LUTs are crafted to address these issues, helping you achieve better exposure both in the field and during post-production. These LUTs are not just a "one-size-fits-all" solution; they are a starting point for grading that you can customize further for optimal results.

  • Versatile Application: Each LUT in this bundle is designed specifically for the ZCAM Z-log2 color profile. Initial tests were conducted using the ZCAM E2 (classic), and the LUTs were developed to facilitate proper exposure and grading. The bundle includes LUTs with varying levels of color and saturation to suit different shooting conditions and creative needs.

Notes and Tips:

  • Optimal Performance: For the best results, use the LUTs with an Expose To The Right (ETTR) strategy on your histogram. This approach ensures that you capture the most detail in your footage.
  • Camera Variability: Each camera can exhibit unique characteristics. After applying the LUTs, you might need to adjust the color balance slightly, usually by tweaking the temperature or tint settings.
  • White Balance: Ensure that your camera is properly white-balanced during filming to achieve the most accurate color reproduction and to make the LUT application process smoother.
