A: Yes, but you need the "Alpha Series UPD" specifically. The A1’s 8K sensor has a different noise pattern than the A7SIII. The standard FX3 LUT will work, but the dedicated A1 UPD provides cleaner shadow recovery.

The updated LUTs specifically re-write the metadata tags that Sony cameras use for brightness scaling. The Phantom LUTs UPD v2.1+ locks the exposure interpretation to the sensor’s actual readout, decoupling it from the EI dial. After installing the UPD, what you see on the monitor is exactly what you get in the Log file. Part 5: Workflow in Post-Production (Resolve & Premiere) Installing the LUTs on your camera is half the battle. The Phantom LUTs UPD also includes technical Cube files for post , which are slightly different from the monitor LUTs. Do NOT use Monitor LUTs for Color Grading Monitor LUTs are designed for low latency and high contrast on small screens. The Post UPD LUTs are designed for 10-bit codecs and highlight roll-off. A: Yes, but you need the "Alpha Series UPD" specifically
When you changed the camera's EI (Exposure Index) or switched from Cine EI to Flexible ISO, the old Phantom LUTs would drastically shift exposure by nearly 1 stop. This led to editors receiving footage that looked properly exposed on the monitor but was completely underexposed in Resolve or Premiere. Date: October 2023 (Updated for 2024 Workflows) The
