Precision-calibrated LUTs for the Sony FX3 & FX30
Every Simple LUTS pack for the Sony FX3 is built from real-world footage — shot on location, calibrated against X-Rite colour checker and white balance cards for accuracy you can trust straight out of the box. Because every ND filter brand has its own colour cast, each LUT is tuned for the exact filter it's named after.
Per-ND-stop colour balancing (ND4 through ND64) Works with FX3, FX30 and Sony mirrorless shooting S-Log3/S-Gamut3.Cine (10-bit) & ProRes Raw Consistent, cinematic results across any lighting condition Less time correcting. More time creating.
For best results: 5600K white balance, lowest ISO
Our LUTs are calibrated against a 5600K daylight white balance and base ISO. Matching these settings keeps your footage’s colour foundation neutral and noise-free — exactly what the LUTs are built to enhance, giving you consistent, accurate results every time.

SONY FX3/30 - Setup Guidelines
Here’s a simple setup guide for the Sony FX3/30 to get optimal video quality, with an emphasis on using Simple LUTs and ND filters.
Set White Balance
Lock the white balance at 5600K for consistent colour temperature, especially outdoors in daylight — a solid foundation for grading with Simple LUTs.
Adjust ISO
Set ISO to the lowest base value to reduce noise and keep the cleanest image. Crucial for maintaining footage integrity when applying LUTs in post.
Adjust Frame Rate
Choose your frame rate for the look — 24fps for cinematic feel, 50/60fps for slow-motion flexibility. Consistent frame rates keep your LUTs uniform across shots.
Set Shutter Speed
Set shutter speed to double your frame rate (e.g. 1/50–1/60 at 25–30fps) for natural motion blur — the 180-degree rule essential for a cinematic look. For slow motion, try 50p/60p with 1/100–1/120 shutter.
Use ND Filters
The FX3/30 relies on external ND filters to control exposure without changing shutter speed or ISO. Use a quality VND from the brands on our list — each Simple LUT is calibrated to that specific filter, so colour stays accurate at every stop.
Apply Simple LUTs
Apply the Simple LUT matching your filter and ND stop, calibrated for S-Log3/S-Gamut3.Cine and ProRes Raw. It brings out full dynamic range and colour depth with no guesswork. Monitor LUTs are included for a baked-in look on set.
Why Simple LUTs for the Sony FX3 in S-Log3/S-Gamut3.Cine
S-Log3/S-Gamut3.Cine captures a wide dynamic range and broad colour gamut — but that flat log image needs converting to look right. Simple LUTs handle this transformation, turning log-encoded footage into accurate, natural colour while preserving full highlight and shadow detail.
Easy to apply, minimal adjustment needed — just consistent, professional results across every shot.
