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 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:
- [AVCHD]: Recording is not possible
- [MP4] / [MP4 (LPCM)] / [MOV]: Recording is possible
- Motion pictures recorded with a different [System Frequency] setting cannot be played back.
Notes
- 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.
