We understand that limited use of non-approved cameras may be necessary in certain situations. Netflix is available to navigate those specific image capture decisions. Please reach out to your Netflix point of contact with any questions or concerns specific to your production. For information on using Non-Approved Cameras see: Non-Approved Cameras: Recommended Settings & Best Practices.
Note: Not all cameras that meet these capture requirements are approved. These requirements are the minimum specifications necessary for a camera system to be considered for approval. Other attributes must be taken into account such as dynamic range, form factor, stability, workflow compatibility, and more.
Cameras that have been approved for Netflix productions are listed below. We will continue to maintain and update this list as new camera systems become available and are evaluated by our technologists.
While not required for Netflix productions, the following best practices will help productions avoid common pitfalls and workflow errors that can lead to added costs, lost time, or creative compromises.
To ensure on-set framing meets the creative and technical needs of your production, a framing chart should be shot before principal photography begins and processed through the dailies, editorial, and VFX pipelines.
When using anamorphic lenses, extra resolution may be required for capture. Camera selection should take this additional need into account. Cameras that meet this resolution requirement and are approved for anamorphic capture are designated in the list above. If you are unsure if your desired camera system has the necessary resolution or have questions about anamorphic capture, Netflix is here to help. Please contact your Netflix project lead to discuss implications or concerns.
In some instances, productions may require the use of approved cameras with external recorders. The recording format should be in line with minimum requirements outlined at the head of this document, and should be discussed with your Netflix point of contact.
Whether you want to make it a romantic affair (who says you can't celebrate Valentine's Day all year round?) or just sit in silence on the sofa, finding a good film is the perfect scene setter. But we get it: Finding a movie to watch with your date or partner can be a struggle. You'll be lucky if your movie tastes align perfectly, and in the early days, you don't want to force them to watch The Notebook and send them to sleep (or creep them out).

You'll both be at the edge of your seats...
Jennifer Aniston? Check. Adam Sandler. Check. Suppose you can't decide what to watch during date night. In that case, you can't possibly go wrong with this comedy mystery which sees a New York cop and his wife framed for the murder of an elderly billionaire when they head on a European getaway to reignite the spark in their marriage.
It may not have won an Oscar or anything, but we still consider Maid in Manhattan a classic. I mean, it's got JLo, it's got Ralph Fiennes and also Stanley Tucci. So, this story about a Senatorial candidate falling for a hotel maid after thinking she was a socialite when he saw her trying on a wealthy woman's dress is a must-watch for date night.
When Lucy's (Geraldine Viswanathan) boyfriend breaks up with her, she is absolutely devastated.

A gem of a romance movie, Look Both Ways addresses essential topics such as unexpected pregnancy and motherhood, which makes it a vital watch with your other half.

So, if you're looking for something a bit more, okay, A LOT, steamier for date night, look no further than Lady Chatterley's Lover starring Emma Corrin and Jack O'Connell. The period drama sees married aristocrat Lady Chatterley pursuing an affair with the gamekeepers on their estate after falling out of love with her husband following a war injury. Another warning: temperatures are set to soar when you watch this.
Styling Hollywood takes you inside the world of celebrity styling and interior design, courtesy of husbands Jason Bolden and Adair Curtis. Along with their team at JSN Studios, we get to see the pair work with clients like Gabrielle Union, Taraji P. Henson, and Eve. Our only complaint? The debut season has only eight episodes.
Since she is one of the funniest humans on the planet, we fully trust Tiffany Haddish to introduce us to a new batch of up-and-coming comedians in this series of half-hour stand-up specials. Another selling point? The always hilarious Wanda Sykes also produced They Ready.

The fast-talking shenanigans of this mother-daughter duo (Lauren Graham and Alexis Bledel) never get old. And the fact that you have the four-episode revival to revisit after you finish the original series will make this binge-watching session even more worthwhile. Pro tip: Pour yourself a cup of coffee to sip while you watch.
Musical-theater lovers (and former Gleeks), this is for you. The bitingly funny and low-key effed-up adventures of Rebecca Bunch as she tries to win back her childhood boyfriend are given a Broadway spin in this comedy-drama-musical series. And when you've finished all four seasons, you'll have an entire catalog of hilarious songs to listen to.
This spin-off of the Karate Kid franchise initially launched on YouTube, where it gained a modest but loyal following.
