LOOK
The Look menu includes: Color, Gain, ISO/FLUT, Sharpness, Curves, Video, Color Temperature, and LGG (Lift,

The Look settings affect the look of the monitor path, but do not affect the recorded RAW data.

10.0, and the default for each is 1.0.
ISO/FLUT
Use the ISO/FLUT menu to adjust ISO, FLUT, and Shadow. For more information, see the following articles:

ISO Speed Revisited, available at
ISO
Select the camera ISO rating. The sensitivity value increments in 1/3 stops. When the ISO rating is adjusted, the
camera logs the change as metadata and the monitor path reacts accordingly. Higher ISO values lead to brighter
images in the monitor path, and vice versa.
RED recommends setting the ISO to the default, then adjust the aperture, lighting, and ND filters to match. The ISO
can later be adjusted around one (1) stop for fine-tuning.
Range is ISO 250 to 12,800. Default is ISO 800.
NOTE: For Monochrome cameras, the default is ISO 2000.
