Nikon Release Dedicated 3D Lut For N-Log & Support RAW Video Output For Z6 & Z7 Cameras

Nikon has introduced a dedicated LUT (lookup table) for users of the N-Log feature on the Nikon Z 7 and Z 6 cameras, allowing greater creative control in post-production. Further adding to the Z series’ capabilities for professional and advanced video creators, a new update will also be released later this year for the Z series cameras, which will enable the support of RAW video output from the camera when using a compatible ATOMOS Ninja V digital recorder.

RAW video files provide the richest information, just as RAW data does for still images. Continue reading “Nikon Release Dedicated 3D Lut For N-Log & Support RAW Video Output For Z6 & Z7 Cameras”
