Hello Lin C. The simple answer is......neither. The camera records in AVCHD. The AVCHD format has been developed for high-definition digital video cameras when recording an HD (High-Definition) signal at the 1080i*1 or 720p*2 specification using high-efficiency compression coding technology. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is adopted to compress video data, and the Dolby Digital or Linear PCM system is used to compress audio data. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format is capable of compressing images at higher efficiency than that of the conventional image compressing format. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 format enables a high definition video signal shot on a digital video camera recorder to be recorded on 8 cm DVD discs, hard disk drive, flash memory, memory card, etc. Recording and playback on the camera Based on the AVCHD format, your camera records with the high definition image quality (HD) mentioned below. Video signal*3: 1080 60i-compatible device MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 19201080/60i, 19201080/60p, 14401080/60i 1080 50i-compatible device MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 19201080/50i, 19201080/50p, 14401080/50i Audio signal: Dolby Digital 2ch Recording media: Memory card *1 1080i specification A high definition specification which utilizes 1,080 effective scanning lines and the interlace system. *2 720p specification A high definition specification which utilizes 720 effective scanning lines and the progressive system. *3 Data recorded in AVCHD format other than the above mentioned cannot be played on your camera. You can play your movies straight from your camera, or whichever device you have downloaded it onto, on most TVs. I have used mine on both US and UK TVs without any problems. If push comes to shove you can always play it through your PC, Laptop or whatever, which in turn is connected to your TV. Go on, buy the camera, you will not regret it and don't forget to buy an IV filter to protect that lens.

This is NTSC. NTSC has 60Hz and a better shutter speed/FPS (PAL is 25fps/ NTSC is 30FPS). NTSC also has a NTSC RCA jack you can use with your test monitor.

a different region player, say for the UK, will probably play the appropriate pal type video. This is region 1 thus works w/ NTSC

It depends where you purchase the camera. In countries using PAL (i.e. Europe), the camera has PAL; in countries using NTSC (The Americas) the camera will have NTSC. You cannot switch between the two systems.

Dual voltage is for the "General Model" only. The NTSC/PAL conversion appears to be for all models, according to the User's Manual (Video signal will be NTSC for US, Canada, and General models, PAL for all others, but Video Conversion is listed separately as PAL/NTSC with no specific model listed next to it).Probably not going to find the General Model for Amazon's price, so far I've only found it on a few websites for $550-$600.

Only NTSC since I bought the unit for the US. My understanding is that European versions would play pal.

It's AVCHD so when you do post production you would output in either NTSC or PAL depending on which you want.

I use this unit as a component video recorder only. The tuner is for PAL and will not decode NTSC frequencies. I set the unit to NTSC and S-video component input. You must have a cable box to receive and decode the digital signals, run the S-video/audio outputs into the EH-69 and it will accept either NTSC standard definition and high definition video signals but only records and plays back in standard definition with HD up conversion. What I like about it is that you can record on the hard drive and burn the program to DVD if you want to store it. Some programs are copy protected and can only be burned from the EH-69 to Panasonic RAM discs for playback only, they cannot be copied after RAM disc burn. The unit also needs to be programmed manually to record. It does not recognize the "guide" from cable tv. You would have to power it up, using the navigation function set the timer, date, time length of recording to record at the same time your Comcast program is playing back real time. Just like the old days of setting your VCR. Even though it sounds like a pain to go through these steps, many people have their on-demand systems full, since they don't want to delete programs they have not watched. This way you can burn to DVD a number of programs for playback at a later time. This is the specific reason I purchased this unit in the first place instead of paying $15.00 a month for the Moxi or DVR function. The only real drawback is that the DVD RAM discs are for Panasonic EH-69 playback only as well as only being able to record one program at a time.

The US version (NTSC video standard) does not, the European version (PAL video standard) is limited to 29 min 59 sec. The US version is limited only by the storage capacity of your SD card.

As far I Know, both player models do play PAL discs since they convert it into NTSC --- you just need a NTSC TV set, a ubiquitous feature in any US television.

I bought the NTSC version and I can confirm that it works on a PAL tv. There is an option in settings where you can select PAL or NTSC. I can only assume that a PAL version also works on an NTSC tv...

If by HD you mean 720P or 1080P, then no. These are the recording resolutions: NTSC: D1(704 x 480); HD1(704 x 240); CIF (352 x 240) PAL: D1(704 x 576); HD1(704 x 288); CIF (352 x 288)

I had one of these sony recorders. I could not get the thing to work right. It made 1 or 2 Dvds, & that was it. I sent it back, got my money back, & never used one again. I do not think it will covert the codec( the NTSC) format, but I'm not sure. Do you have a computer? If you do, There's a huge variety of dvd direct to pc coverter systems to chose from. I'd try that.

We regret to inform you this TV doesn't work with the PAL video system. Only NTSC and ATSC video standards.

I bought two of these as christmas presents for my children and I have the same problem with one of them. I checked NTSC, but that should not have anything to do with the problem. NTSC/PAL is a regional setting when it comes to the video format. I am going to file a complaint and request either a new replacement or a refund for the bad item.
