Does S-Log record to SxS or only LUT?

[truelife]

I have been using my F3 primarily with an external recorder since I purchased S-log earlier this year. I know this has been discussed before, but I can't seem to find a way to get S-Log to record directly to SxS. It always seems to record with an LUT applied even if LUT is turned off in the menu. Is this correct? I also tried using the Picture Profile S-log that came with firmware 1.4, but it still looked different from the external recording.

Any ideas?

It was discussed repeatedly in the comments section here on Abelcine and said that you can turn off the LUT's and get "something like SLOG" to SXS but I don't know what is meant by that. http://blog.abelcine.com/2011/04/19/shooting-s-log-with-the-sony-f3/

What I know with RGB upgrade, is turning off LUTS is for the purpose of recording SLOG to 422 via HDMI or HD-SDI output.

Well Alister mentioned on his forum that it should be the same S-log output to both external and internal recordings. Perhaps the fact that I was testing a friend's Hyperdeck Shuttle 2 and recording to DNxHD caused a gamma shift, but the SxS looked definitively like it had a Rec709 LUT applied rather than a gamma shift.

Everything I've read says that shouldn't happen. Basically everything is SLOG and if you turn LUT on it gets applied to HDMI and HD-SDI ports (for producer/director anti-cranky mechanism) while SLOG goes out dual-link ports.

I'd really like to know what happened in your case.
