Deleting LUTs
To delete LUTs you are no longer using or make room for more, select ‘delete’ from the menu.
On the next screen select the LUT you want to delete and press ‘set’. When prompted to
confirm your choice, select ‘delete’ and press ‘set’.
Embedded 3D LUTs
When a 3D LUT is used while shooting Blackmagic RAW on Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera
4K G2, the selected LUT will be embedded into the Blackmagic RAW file that you are recording.
The 3D LUT is actually saved with your recorded files in the header of the .braw file, and can
easily be applied to footage in post production without needing to handle a separate file.
So when Blackmagic RAW files are delivered to an editor or colorist, they will be able to easily
access the LUT that was used while filming, which greatly reduces the possibility that the wrong
3D LUT could be applied to a clip. They can then choose whether to apply the 3D LUT when
editing or color grading the footage, and can disable the 3D LUT at any time.
When the ‘apply LUT in file’ switch is set to ‘on’ in the record menu, the recorded clip will open
in Blackmagic RAW Player and DaVinci Resolve with the chosen 3D LUT already applied to it.
The 3D LUT can then be easily toggled ‘on’ or ‘off’ but will always travel with the Blackmagic
RAW file as it is written into the clip itself. DaVinci Resolve also has an ‘Apply LUT’ switch in the
RAW settings palette for enabling or disabling the 3D LUT in the Blackmagic RAW file.
The ‘Apply LUT’ setting in DaVinci Resolve is the same setting as in the camera. This means that
when shooting you can direct the colorist to use the LUT by setting it in the camera, but they
can switch it off easily in DaVinci Resolve by setting ‘Apply LUT’ to ‘off’.
Presets
The ‘presets’ menu lets you save and recall a complete collection of settings for your
Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K G2. This is very useful when one camera is used for
multiple projects. For example, you may use your camera for a variety of different shoots with
very different settings between types of projects. Your camera’s ‘presets’ function lets you
save the setup for a particular project or type of shoot and come back to it quickly and easily
when required.
You can also import and export presets. Simply set up one Blackmagic Micro Studio Camera 4K
G2 to suit your project, then export that preset for all the other cameras on your production.
Managing Presets
This menu lets you create, import, export and delete presets on your camera.
