Changing the system frequency

Applicable modes:

You can change the system frequency of the motion pictures you record and play back. When creating a motion picture that has a broadcasting system different from your region or when recording a motion picture for a film, change the system frequency.

[59.94 Hz (NTSC)]

[50.00 Hz (PAL)]

For regions where the TV broadcasting system is PAL

[24.00 Hz (CINEMA)]

This system frequency is for creating films

 

 

A message prompting you to restart the camera will be displayed. Turn off and on the camera.

By default, the system frequency is set to the broadcasting system of your purchase region, [59.94 Hz (NTSC)] or [50.00 Hz (PAL)].

When [System Frequency] is set to a broadcasting system different from that of your region, images may not be played back correctly on the TV.

If you are not familiar with broadcasting systems or will not be creating any motion pictures for films, we recommend that you use the default setting.

If you changed the setting but are not sure about the system frequency for the broadcasting system of your region, perform [Reset] in the [Setup] menu (P58).

Once you change the system frequency

After changing the [System Frequency] setting, motion pictures may not be recorded or played back if you continue to use the card that was inserted in the camera. We recommend that you replace the card with another one and format (P58) it on the camera.

If you continue to use the card that was inserted in the camera before you changed the setting, the camera will operate as follows:
