Leica SL2-S LUTs

Leica L-Log Reference Manual: L-Log puts 18% middle grey at 44% IRE (10-bit 445), and Leica's L-Log LUTs are built for that exposure. For best quality Leica recommends exposing to the right, then correcting exposure before applying the LUT.

Camera settings

  • Video Settings > Video Gamma > select L-Log. L-Log records in the Rec.2020 colour space. For HDMI RAW, Video Format / Resolution > HDMI RAW (C4K).
  • Leica lists native ISO 400 and 2500 in L-Log.
