N-Log Capable Nikon Cameras
If you're seeking maximum control over exposure and the overall look of your video footage, you might want to explore recording in N-Log format with compatible Nikon cameras. N-Log recording allows you to apply LUTs (Look-Up Tables) for enhanced color grading. With Nikon's acquisition of RED, they now offer four professional-level LUTs specifically designed for Nikon's N-Log. This means you can achieve cinematic-quality footage reminiscent of RED cameras with your Nikon gear. Discover more about these RED LUTs for Nikon here.

The LUTs won't be stored directly on the camera; instead, they'll be loaded onto external monitors like the Atomos Ninja during shooting, and applied in post-production using editing software like DaVinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere Pro. So all you need to do is to download the LUTs from Nikon’s website and upload them to your monitor and editing software of choice.
