ALL Sony Creative Looks - Tested and compared
🎨 Are Sony’s Creative Looks Actually Worth Using? Let’s Find Out!
Welcome back to the channel! Today we’re diving into a feature that’s been on Sony cameras forever — the built-in Creative Looks.
I’ve always shot in LOG and graded my footage manually… until I realized I was spending way too much time fiddling with LUTs and nodes just to get a look I could’ve had straight out of camera.
So in this video, I’m going through every Creative Look on the Sony a6700 — and yes, these are also available on most other Sony cameras like the ZV-E10 (with a few differences).
Let’s see if they’re worth using in 2025.

📋 In This Video, You’ll Learn:
• What each Creative Look actually looks like in-camera
• What Sony claims each look is for (and my unfiltered thoughts)
• Whether these presets are worth using over S-Log3
• Real-world results using the Sony a6700 and Sony 35mm f/1.8
• How I shoot with minimal post-processing and still get good results
