On the COLOR screen, press the EVF, MON OUT, INTERNAL and/or REC
OUT buttons to apply the Look File to the desired output paths. An
applied Look File is indicated by a check mark in the box corresponding
to each output path. Look Files can only by applied to output paths that
are set to REC 709 gamma.
Note: If the INTERNAL or REC OUT paths are set to REC 709 gamma and a Look
File is applied, the recorded image on the internal media or external recording
device will be permanently altered by that Look File.
Note: If both the INTERNAL and REC OUT paths are set to REC 709 gamma, a
Look File can only be applied to both or none of them.
Note: In High Speed mode, a Look File cannot be applied to the REC OUT as the
MON OUT output path is rerouted to the REC OUT.
Additional Look Files can be added to the ALEXA from the SD card. The
Look Files must be copied into the LookFiles folder on the SD card. The
required folder structure on the SD card can be created via
MENU>System>SD card>Prepare SD card.

Playback and Look Files
During playback, the camera makes a distinction between clips
recorded in Log C and clips recorded in Rec 709.
When a clip recorded in Log C is played back and a Look File is active in
the camera, the look will be applied to the clip. Please note that this is
the currently enabled Look File, as the camera does not take into
account which Look File was active when the clip was recorded. It is the
responsibility of the user to make sure the correct Look File is applied
during playback.
