Film emulation LUTs for LUMIX

Real Time LUTs that recreate classic film stocks and apply them in-camera, so your LUMIX JPEGs come out looking like film with no editing.

Short answer

Film-emulation LUTs recreate the colour of classic film stocks and apply it in-camera through LUMIX Real Time LUT, so your JPEGs come out looking like film with no computer and no editing. Below are our looks mapped to the stocks they emulate, each $9 and shown with same-scene before and after frames.

Every look is a standard .cube file, so it loads on Real Time LUT bodies like the S9, S5II and L10, and also works in desktop editors.

What a film-emulation LUT does

Real film has a signature: the way it renders skin, how it rolls off highlights, its palette and grain. A film-emulation LUT captures that colour signature as a look-up table you can shoot with. On a LUMIX, Real Time LUT applies it live as you compose and bakes it into the JPEG, while your RAW is saved untouched. The result is a finished film look straight out of camera, and the LUT you choose is the whole personality of the picture.

The stocks we emulate

Kodak Portra 400 style

Everyday 400

Warm neutrals, soft skin, gentle contrast

The portrait and wedding classic. Warm but natural skin tones and forgiving highlights, the look most people mean when they say film.

Kodak Gold 200 style

Amber 200

Golden, sunlit, nostalgic

The everyday consumer film that defined summer snapshots. Warm golden cast and sunny midtones that make daylight feel like late afternoon.

Fujifilm-style simulation

North Light

Cool greens, clean highlights

Fujifilm colour, the reason many pick up a Fuji body. Cool, clean greens and a filmic contrast curve that looks finished with no editing.

Faded vintage film

Vintage Summer

Faded, warm, lifted shadows

A sun-bleached, faded film feel with lifted shadows and warm midtones. The look of a photo left in a shoebox for twenty years.

Cinematic rendering

Vibrance

Punchy, deep blues and rich reds

A rangefinder-inspired, cinematic look with deep blues and rich reds. The punch you reach for on almost any frame.

Soft medium-format portrait

Porcelain

Painterly, calm, soft skin

Painterly medium-format depth with a calm, green-leaning palette that keeps skin soft and glowing. A quiet, refined portrait look.

How to load a film look on your LUMIX

Every look loads the same two ways, and both take about a minute: add the .cube in the free LUMIX Lab app and Transfer to Camera, or copy it to an SD card and Load it under Photo Style, Real Time LUT, LUT Library. Then press the LUT button and shoot. Full detail is in the install guide.

Film emulation LUT FAQ

What is a film-emulation LUT?

A colour transform that recreates the look of a classic film stock, such as Kodak Portra or Fujifilm. On a LUMIX it applies through Real Time LUT, so the film look is baked into every JPEG as you shoot, with the RAW saved untouched.

Which film stocks do these LUTs emulate?

Kodak Portra 400 (Everyday 400), Kodak Gold 200 (Amber 200) and Fujifilm film simulations (North Light), plus a faded vintage film look (Vintage Summer), a cinematic rendering (Vibrance) and a soft medium-format portrait look (Porcelain).

Do they work in-camera on LUMIX?

Yes. They are .cube LUTs for LUMIX Real Time LUT, so the film look is previewed live and baked into the JPEG as you shoot on bodies like the S9, S5II and L10. They also work in desktop editors like DaVinci Resolve and Lightroom.

Are more film stocks coming?

Yes. We add looks to the range over time. If there is a specific stock you want to see, from CineStill to Ektar to a classic slide film, tell us on the contact page.
