01LUMIX Lab (official free creator LUTs)
Best for: starting out without spending anything
Panasonic's own LUMIX Lab app is the obvious first stop, and it is free. It carries around 200 LUTs made by more than 40 creators, and it transfers them to the camera wirelessly. It also has a Magic LUT feature that generates a LUT from any reference photo.
If you are new to Real Time LUT, install this first and shoot with it for a week before you buy anything. It will teach you what you like.
Heads up: variety is huge but curation is not. Quality swings from creator to creator, and finding a consistent film look you love can take a lot of scrolling.
02LumiLUTs film-emulation looks
Best for: curated film-stock looks with real before and after proof
That is us, so read this with that in mind. LumiLUTs is a small set of six film-emulation looks built specifically for LUMIX Real Time LUT, sold individually at $9 a look with no bundles or subscriptions. Each is graded to LUMIX colour science and shown with same-scene before and after frames so you see exactly what you are buying.
The range covers the looks people actually search for: a Kodak Portra 400 style, a Kodak Gold 200 style, a Fujifilm-style film simulation, a faded vintage film look, plus a punchy cinematic and a soft portrait rendering.
Heads up: it is a focused catalogue, not a giant pack. If you want hundreds of options in one purchase, a marketplace bundle will suit you better.
03niconlumix Kodak Portra Gold LUT
Best for: a single, well-loved 35mm blend
The niconlumix Portra Gold LUT blends the flattering skin tones of Portra with the warm punch of Kodak Gold into one 35mm look built for the LUMIX Standard profile. If you want one dependable film look rather than a range, it is a strong single-purchase option.
04Ross and his JPEGs
Best for: looks plus genuine how-to
Ross and his JPEGs pairs LUMIX looks with clear getting-started guides written by an actual LUMIX shooter. Good if you want to learn the Real Time LUT workflow while you pick up looks.
05MCKC Kodak emulation LUTs
Best for: Kodak looks on V-Log video
MCKC's Kodak emulation LUTs are built with LUMIX V-Log in mind, so they are a good fit for video shooters who grade from a log profile rather than shooting straight JPEGs.
06Colorizer Fujifilm simulation LUTs
Best for: accurate Fuji simulations for video
Colorizer's Fujifilm simulation LUTs convert LUMIX V-Log to Fuji film simulations and are built from measurements of thousands of colour patches. If Fuji colour is what you are chasing on an S5IIX, these are the technical option.
07Mastin Labs real-time LUTs
Best for: a premium, established film-preset name
Mastin Labs is a well-known film-preset brand, and its Fuji and Kodak looks can be loaded onto LUMIX bodies as real-time LUTs. Priced at the premium end, aimed at photographers already invested in the Mastin look.
08Phantom LUTs (cinematic)
Best for: cinematic and ARRI-style video
Phantom LUTs lean cinematic, with ARRI-style and film-emulation packs designed for the S1H, S5 and S5II. A better fit for filmmakers than for stills shooters.
09Fujify LUMIX recipe packs
Best for: recipe-style Kodak packs
Fujify offers LUMIX Lightroom and LUT recipe packs, including Kodak-style sets. Handy if you want a recipe pack you can apply both in-camera and in post.
10Marketplaces (Etsy, FilterGrade, CineColor)
Best for: browsing lots of cheap options
Marketplaces list hundreds of film LUTs, and the sheer number of "Lumix LUT" listings on Etsy shows how real the demand is. The trade-off is quality control: many are generic exports rather than LUTs tuned for LUMIX, and few show honest in-camera samples.
Heads up: confirm the file is a .cube and that the seller shows real LUMIX before and after frames before buying, or it may not load or look right in-camera.

How to choose the right LUMIX LUT
Work in this order. First, install the free LUMIX Lab LUTs and shoot with them, so you learn your taste. Second, decide whether you want a film-stock look (Portra, Kodak Gold, Fuji) or a creative look (cinematic, faded, high-contrast). Third, choose stills or video: JPEG shooters want looks tuned to LUMIX colour science, while V-Log video shooters want LUTs built for a log profile. Finally, only buy from sellers who show real, same-scene before and after frames shot on a LUMIX. That single check filters out most of the generic packs.
Which LUMIX cameras support Real Time LUT?

Are there free LUTs for LUMIX cameras?
Yes. The official LUMIX Lab app includes roughly 200 free creator LUTs, and many creators publish free .cube files. Free LUTs are a great starting point; paid packs mainly buy you curation, consistency and film-stock accuracy.

How do I install a LUT on a LUMIX camera?

Are paid LUMIX LUTs worth it over the free ones?
It depends. Free LUMIX Lab LUTs cover a lot of ground. Paid packs are worth it when you want a specific, consistent film look with real before and after proof, tuned to LUMIX colour science rather than a generic export.
