Why the S9 is built for LUTs
The S9 was designed for creators who want a finished look straight out of camera. It is the first full-frame LUMIX with a dedicated LUT button on the body, so switching looks takes one press. Because the grade is applied in-camera through Real Time LUT, there is no Lightroom step and no export: the JPEG lands finished while the RAW stays clean for anyone who wants to grade by hand later.
That makes the choice of LUT the whole game. A good .cube tuned to LUMIX colour science gives you consistent skin tones and highlights shot after shot, which a generic exported LUT often cannot.
