If you’re a proud owner of this tiny box-style beast, you’d be more than happy to know that the camera just got Netflix-Approved Certification. With its 24.2MP sensor, a Leica L lens mount, and a wide 14+-stop dynamic range when recording in V-Log, you can now produce content for one of the biggest streaming services out there.
Of course, there are certain settings that you have to use, thus making sure that the captured video passes the requirements of the streaming giant. You can find all details below.
