Netflix APPROVED Settings for the LUMIX S1H

[@pillarsofcreationuk]

Dope content here, Dustin. I'm new to the S1H and your recent vids have been very informative and practical getting to grips with the in-depth functions of this beats! Thanks for posting the Netflix settings sheet too! Peace, Jay.

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

Thank you🙏. I'm glad the videos have been helpful!

[@JonackFilm]

Man the S1h is insane. I have it since December 2022. Amazing camera

[@PatientZeroBalisong]

Love your videos, especially on the S1H, it's such a different beast for cinema, so many settings! I was shocked when I seen your subscriber count, I thought you were in the millions, not thousands, crazy! I'll share your videos around to my camera buddies.

Who needs an external monitor with that futuristic screen on the S1H and in body 6K recording! Thanks for the video.

[@CYMotorsport]

just stopping by to say you have a really talented eye for composition - love the fog sequence!

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

Appreciate it🙏 another video coming soon with a fun sequence like that

[@voxavila]

Thanks Dustin, just bought the S1H to accompany my EVA-1, thanks for all your helpful info on the camera. Great stuff. Big fan.

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

Glad you've found it helpful🙏 hope you love it as much as your EVA-1

[@QuinnAden]

Awesome video man. Subbed! Can't wait to get this cam. And then once I start filming it'll be off the approved list haha

[@DollarsignDzTv]

So glad I found this channel .. editing my S1H footage right now.. loving it .. I over estimated how much light I would need for the 180 FPS tho.. super noisy but still happy with the camera over all ..

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

I'm glad you are here👍I've noticed at 180 it can be noisy as well

[@98JamesNixon]

It’s the as s on the GH5S, very noisy at anything over 800 iso

[@trevorpinnocky]

The fog shots were super sweet 🤙🏾. I love mist.

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

Turned out pretty cool 😎

[@Bradscottvisuals]

Great video Dustin. That Fog! Love crazy weather that creates such an awesome atmosphere. Keep up the great videos

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

Thank you👍 right?! We never get fog like that. Had to get some footage cause who knows when it'll come back.

[@markjob6354]

*Hey Dustin. I'm saving up my extra shekels to be able to pick up an S1H body ASAP. All reports, reviews, and industry feedback indicates this is THE hybrid mirrorless camera for serious production.*

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

I definitely agree and think it's the best mirrorless camera for serious production work. Hope you can get it soon!

[@justarandomstranger6467]

I just ordered three cameras just to shoot for Netflix. Gonna pitch my Vlog series to them for an 8 part series.

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

You should do it on street basketball instead. They also always order 2 seasons if it's approved so chances are high. Especially if you act and direct and camera operate and boom.

[@nyrubin]

U should've ordered 3 of them instead and a a7siii for the low low light scenes up to 10% of the video can be shot on it

[@nyrubin]

Awesome videos. I got the s5 cuz I couldn't afford the s1h. But all ur videos are pretty much useful 💪✌

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

Thank you 🙏 I probably would have gotten a S5 if it came before the S1H

[@nyrubin]

@@DustinArmstrongPro I was watching a live feed, think it was from B&H. Featuring gerrald undone and other youtubers. There's a possibility that they might give us 5 minute 6k clips on the s5. Not saying it'll happen but he said they're looking into seeing something like that will benefit it's users

[@LeonVillarejo-Filmmaker]

Hi Dustin, your videos are great, thank you so much. What settings do you recommend to shot a black and white film with the Panasonic S1H? thank you

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

You'll be very interested to watch my next video on this channel. It'll be in black and white. I don't have recommended settings but it's funny you mention it

[@jeffreyfleming4016]

[@tonyzecchinelli]

Good and nice review

[@stevestrasser6833]

Hi Dustin. Rewatching this video, a question pops up: aside from HLG, are V-Log and RAW HDR? If I shoot V-Log or RAW, can I deliver in HDR? Thanks for your insight!

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

As far as I'm aware, yes you can finalize in HDR in V-LOG and ProResRAW. You just need an HDR monitor in order to do that and the correct workflow. I don't know what that looks like, but yeah fairly confident. It's possible the sheet has been updated from Netflix. Maybe I'll look into doing an updated version of this video.

[@stevestrasser6833]

@@DustinArmstrongPro Thanks! It should work at least for RAW as RAW reads out all the data the sensor can get. As for HDR monitors: I don't have one. But the new iMacs will support HDR. Cheers!

[@jamescook5931]

I love the look of this video. It anesthetically pleasing. What lens are you using?

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

Thank you! The beginning is with the Sigma 14-24mm 2.8 and I believe the rest was the Sigma 35mm 1.4 including the basketball scene

[@jamescook5931]

@@DustinArmstrongPro Wow dude, I'm loving this camera more than the Sony A7siii. Let me tell you why. The Sony camera is great. However, I find it to be, too easy and it doesn't seem to be much of a challenge. The s1h is just a fun camera to figure out and use. As a professional, how do you feel about the Sony?

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

I love it as well. That's interesting actually I've found the S1H much more user friendly and makes more sense than the Sonys 😂 but that's just my experience and it could be because I was more of a "beginner" when I was on Sony so maybe that's why. I'm excited to see how it compares to the A7sIII (I have one on pre order)

[@yvesyvesmanga7834]

Wish one to choose 1dxmark III or s1h for weddings thanks

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

Kind of a loaded question. If you aren't invested in Canon, I'd definitely consider the S1H. Personally, the ergonomics of the S1H I think far better than the 1DX mark III. The S1H is smaller, has a flip screen, and it's cheaper as well. The biggest advantage the 1DX mark III has is the Dual Pixel autofocus. It'll destroy the S1H. So if autofocus is important and you are okay with the bigger body, higher price, and not as intuitive design, 1DX Mark III. If you are comfortable dealing with the bad autofocus and having to go manual focus a lot, I think the S1H is a much better value. This doesn't factor a lot of things but hopefully helps with your decision. Good luck🙏

[@georgejoseph3467]

Hey Dustin Thanks Myself George Joseph This is great video, the fog shots... I have a doubt, does the netflix production requires time code? What if we dont use time code cable? Viva filming

[@BobbyWashingtonvlog]

Hey Dustin, just got the S1H and I have the GH5 as well. You mention others cameras to use 10% for Netflix, could I use The GH5 as a B camera and S1H as A for 90%?

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

I don't know the exact answer to that, but in theory based on this you should be able to.

[@BobbyWashingtonvlog]

@@DustinArmstrongPro awesome news... thank you...

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

I'm pretty sure there's a movie on Netflix that was filmed with a GH5. Don't quote me on it but I swear there is.

[@nyrubin]

You can use any camera for Netflix. It just won't be under 4k content if it's not a Netflix approved camera on their website

[@BobbyWashingtonvlog]

@@DustinArmstrongPro upstream color is a film shot on the GH4 and was on Netflix I believe

[@LaurenceBoxley]

Great video thank you, out of interest - Netflix has approved audio requirements too, would a shotgun mic plugged into the mic input be good enough ?

[@TallyHoTech]

Great video, it would be be great if you could show us how to the the black, grey and white point calibrated

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

Watch my video about my 10 secret settings on the S1H and use the luminance spot meter to expose correctly

[@UziMovie]

is the time code cable a necessity for Netflix?

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

No

[@rickysquickflick4278]

Thank you great video

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

Thank you for being a great viewer🙏

[@Personal_Revival]

Is setting your white balance in v log the same as any other camera?

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

Yeah it's the same no matter what camera or picture profile

[@TallyHoTech]

Can you do a video on how to calibrate the black point ect for Netflix settings

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

The calibrate black point? Or are you talking how to expose your blacks based on IRE of a waveform?

[@TallyHoTech]

Dustin Armstrong I get it now. Thanks I watch your other video on vlog. Cheers

[@GarCorStudio]

Awesome!!!! Subscribed!!!

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

Thank you🙏

[@aspirant5872]

Great info. Thanks a lot. I was wondering how difficult these settings could be to find. Are they likely to change do you think? Any comment about HLG HDR?

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

No problem! I honestly have no clue. I'm sure they are likely to slightly change overtime. Haven't fully tested HLG but have a video planned in the future to test it out

[@aspirant5872]

@@DustinArmstrongPro Thanks. Good man. Need to know about HLG. Much easier to edit than V Log

[@DennisSchmitz]

@@aspirant5872 I would say it's much harder to edit actually. Still working on my Lut - there are many obstacles to do so. V-Log on the other hand is easy to work with and even the provided Lut provides fantastic results! HLG has the advantage of having no noise reduction related motion artifacts and cleaner shadows while providing the same dynamic range. Especially visible at 120 and 100p.

[@nyrubin]

HLG can only be graded on a HDR display. Ur best bet is to let the camera do the work leave it all on auto

[@lapinchetele]

How does Netflix know which camera you shot your movie with?

[@iammz81]

So with the Atomos Ninja V the footage from the S5 5.9K raw would be Netflix approved?

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

So you can use footage from any camera for Netflix shows but I think 90% or some sort it needs to be shot on a camera that is approved by Netflix and I don't believe the S5 is

[@diceflawless9115]

I guess what im wanting to know is what exactly does this camera do that other cameras don't, making it Netflix approved. Specially vs the newer S5ii.

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

Netflix approved and OLPF. That's it. S5II and S5IIX have other things though that this doesn't

[@stevestrasser6833]

Thanks! Great to have the ire exposure levels for v-log. That's a tricky one. Especially in run and gun scenarios. Do you know how to read exactly 7,3 41 and 62 ire from the waveform monitor or is there another way? I guess 10, 40 and 60 will do as well. Thumbs up!

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

Probably an expensive monitor on set could give you a good waveform monitor with an exact value. It doesn't have to be exact everytime. Especially if you're a run and gun videographer (like me) it's hard to always expose perfect. You can also check out my video covering 10 secret settings in the S1H. You can use the luminance spot meter in the S1H to also help assist with exposing correctly using a grey card. Hope this help🙏

[@nelisaalcalde9081]

@@DustinArmstrongPro sorry guys, I just watched the video..are you sure 90% white is 61 ire? I think it makes more sense if 90% white is 71 ire? as if we count that 25ire=1 stop...then 61ire will be like skin tone exposure? if i explained myself properly...Thinking of buying the camera. are you selling second hand? :) thanks for all the videos man!

[@HalarKhoso]

Brother absolutely loved this video. I require some help, When I grade the 10bit vlog footage from S1H in Premiere Pro, the color banding issues come my way, mostly likely the banding happens in skies. Guide me how to fix this.

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

Your video tour guide is here. I have honestly not run into these issues. Are you on the latest firmware for the camera and updated to the latest Premiere Pro?

[@Weird_Quests]

Just subbed - what would you recommend for a one-camera solution for KZbin content, product videos (for Kickstarter) and narrative filmmaking? Think the S1H would fit the bill? Do you still use your Sony a7 III/S II since getting it?

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

Thanks for the support! The S1H would definitely fit the bill, but same with most hybrid systems. It really just comes down to what's most important to you. Autofocus, ergonomics, etc. I think if you're doing more narratives, the S1H might be a better choice. If social and product videos are, A7III or Canon 1DX might be better. I still use my Sony but use my S1H more

[@Weird_Quests]

Dustin Armstrong my own camera will mainly be for: talking head shots as you did here, interviews, product videos, actors monologues, short films (but may rent or get another DP for this).

[@DustinArmstrongPro]

@@Weird_Quests Possible a camera with good autofocus may be a better choice, but it just depends how comfortable you are pulling focus manually. And is this your first camera? Or already know about cameras? All these things would be things to consider when buying a camera

[@Weird_Quests]

Dustin Armstrong I teach filmmaking and photography as well as do a little sales too - pretty comfortable with using cameras - just trying to balance ease of use with value/features

he covers the timecode situation. the whole video, and the damn camera itself, are aimed at the pro-sumer market. it's for making movies with. if you're looking at this camera you likely don't care about on-board sound. if you want to be a v-tuber go look elsewhere.
