Is there a correction LUT between R5C and C70?

Hi, I'm often working with both cameras, when shooting interviews, and I find the images to look pretty different, most likely due to having different sensors.

I match the settings in camera and shoot in C-log3.
I would love a simple LUT or preset that can match the looks better.

Anyone have any good suggestions? Thanks!

Greetings ,

Since the C70 and R5 C are two completely different cameras, there is no single file fix. One way you may want to address this would be to use DaVinci resolve to interpret Clog3 as Clog2 on the R5 C. Then use Canons 3D lut for color grading. Let me reach out to one of my colleagues (@atticuslake). I believe he owns both the C70 and R5 C.

I have both cameras, but I generally don't combine footage in the way you are, so I haven't hit this issue. There is no official Canon LUT to match them, since they both shoot CLog3, which is theoretically the same (make sure the other settings in your color profiles also match).

So I think you'll just need to experiment, and make your own colour preset for this.

The oinly thing that comes to mind is expoeure -- it can be tricky to set identical exposures on both cameras, which can affect the look quite a lot, so maybe look into that.
