how to know if a hv10 is pal or ntsc
 

Can someone please look at their hv10:s bottom tag, and tell me the model code(or similar) for the NTSC, and PAL versions of the HV10..

Thanks alot.

If it shoots 60i or 30 frames per second and most likely has shutter speeds that are divisible by 30 it`s not PAL.
Most NTSC consumer camcorders have shutter speeds like 30/60/120/ etc whereas PAL cams have 50/100/150 and so on.

Cheers,

ok, the thing is, i am buying a camcorder, and i need to confirm if it is a Pal or ntsc version without using it, so if anybody could post those model numbers, that would be great.

Sorry its took so long to reply - been waiting for my account to come through.

I have imported an NTSC HV10 into the UK (£499 delivered from Ebay) and on the top of it near the mic it has the following printed on it...
"HD Video camcorder HV10 NTSC"

So its pretty easy to spot that its an NTSC model.

Hope you are still around to read this reply.
