Why is there a ! next to my LUTs after FX6 firmware update?

If you have just updated your FX6 firmware and are now finding that there is an exclamation mark ! next to the LUT or base look name what this is telling you is that the LUT cannot be saved using the new Embedded LUT feature.

In previous firmware versions the camera used to save LUT’s internally using a  format that would not be compatible with most edit or grading applications when saved in the cameras metadata as an embedded LUT.  So, old LUTs loaded in previous firmware versions will show a ! before the LUT name. The LUT should still work, you just won’t be able to save it as an embedded LUT.

The only way to resolve this is to delete the LUT from the camera and then reload it from the original source. LUTs for the FX6 should be 33x cube LUTs.

Don’t forget I offer a wide range of free LUTs that work perfectly with the FX6,  take a look here: https://www.xdcam-user.com/picture-settings-and-luts/alisters-free-luts/
