Capsule LUTs: Neutral (S-Log 3)
The second LUT in the Capsule LUTs series. I am approaching this series of LUTs like a capsule wardrobe: a collection of LUTs that will cover most of your needs.
This neutral utility LUT provides a versatile starting point that can be further tweaked to taste. It was created in DaVinci Resolve for Sony cameras capable of shooting in 10-bit S-Log3, such as the Sony a6700, FX3, A7SIII, A7IV, and A7RV. I have added a slight rolloff in the highlights, tempered contrast, and mild saturation with pleasing luminance adjustments—all while retaining proper skin tones. It works great in a variety of scenarios.

Please note that LUTs are not meant to be one-and-done tools. I would recommend correcting white balance and exposure at the clip level. After applying the LUT you may need to add more contrast or saturation to taste.
For those working in a DaVinci Wide Gamut color managed workflow, I have also included the DWG version of this LUT for you to put in the middle of your node chain! I use this when I want finer control over my nodes.
Included:
1 Zip file containing 2 .Cube LUT files.
