Netflix Approved Cameras Gh5. If you’re one day hoping to market your magnum opus of a movie to Netflix, better gear up. You’ll need at least a minimum of a 4K sensor to meet the company’s standards, according to The Beat. The Panasonic LUMIX S1H is not only the first mirrorless camera on Netflix's list of approved cameras, but it's also the most affordable.. Netflix is pretty particular when it comes to the ways in which their original content is captured. In fact, you might be familiar with their long (but somehow, not long enough) list of approved cameras that satisfy their strict resolution and capture. I've worked on a Netflix Original doc and can say that outside of your A Camera, these are just guidelines. Some things are arbitrary, like the A7s ii is listed as approved but the GH5 is not. If you wanted to shoot on the GH5 as a C Cam, it would not take much negotiating for them to be totally fine with it.
@4sof I completely agree. MF is ok for big budget production where paying experienced focus pullers is not a problem. Continuous AF doesn’t even exist on the majority of the Netflix-approved cameras. This is a bit a chicken-egg problem. The new Sony FX9 has all the bitrates as well as the brilliantly fast reliable continuous tracking AF from A9.

“The dynamic range is about 14.6 stops in HLG, a creditable performance. CineLike-D is about 13.9 stops and Like709 about 10.3 stops with the Knee switched off. However, all of this is using the 4:2:2 10-bit recording modes.” GH5 and GH5S internally record 10-bit footage. It’s very difficult to record high dynamic range without 10bit.
Any cameras other than the primary camera (crash, POV, drone, underwater, etc.) must be approved by Netflix. Footage from non-approved cameras will count towards the total allotment of non-approved capture. The allotment is based on content used in the final edit (per episode if applicable) and not on the total captured content. We supply, service and repair professional video cameras.
