  3. Set Picture Profile: Use Cine EI mode (FX6) or PP9 (A7S III). Set Gamma to S-Log3, Color Mode to S-Gamut3.Cine.
  4. Expose to the Right (ETTR) with Caution: Unlike Sony LUTs, Phantom LUTs want clean shadows. Set your zebras to 65% (skin tone). Stop down until the highest highlight (clouds, rim light) reads 85-90%.
  5. Turn on "LUT On" display: Monitor via HDMI or the EVF. You will immediately see the "better" image—creamy skintones, filmic roll-off.
