Coinciding with the firmware update, a special LUT (lookup table) designed exclusively for RAW video recorded with NINJA V + and NINJA V will be available on Panasonic&s

customer support website to perform the same color correction as V-Log/V-Gamut. This makes it easy to match and combine the colors of footage from Panasonic Varicam and EVA1 cameras.
