Method A: wirelessly, via LUMIX Lab
The fastest route. Panasonic's free LUMIX Lab app sends the LUT to your camera over Wi-Fi, no card swapping.
- Save the .cube to your phone. After buying, your LUT arrives by email. Save the .cube file somewhere you can find it.
- Import it into LUMIX Lab. Open the app, add the LUT to your library, then pair your camera and tap Transfer to Camera.
- Pick a slot. Your camera holds up to 39 LUTs at once, so keep a whole shelf of looks ready.
- Shoot. On the S9, press the dedicated LUT button, choose your look, and every JPEG comes out graded. The RAW is saved untouched alongside it.
Method B: straight from an SD card
Prefer to skip the app, or on a body without it? Load the same file directly through the camera menu.
- Copy the .cube to your card. Drop the file onto your SD card and put the card in the camera.
- Open the LUT Library. Go to Menu, then Photo Style, Real Time LUT, LUT Library, then Load and select your file.
- Dial it in. Set LUT Opacity to taste. Around 80 to 90 percent often reads more natural than full strength.
- Save your look. Store it into a My Photo Style slot so it is one press away every time you shoot.
A Real Time LUT is applied only to the JPEG your camera renders. Your RAW is saved completely untouched, so you always keep full latitude to grade it differently later. The same .cube file also works in DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut and Lightroom.

On older LUMIX bodies without the feature, you can still use the same .cube files in editing software. For the full picture on what the feature does, read what a LUMIX Real Time LUT is.
