Premium Member Adrian Sierkowski Posted June 1, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted June 1, 2009 Isn't Japan an NTSC/60Hz country, though? So If you're shooting PAL (25P) I'd recommend making sure your EX shutter is @ 1/60th to avoid flicker. Edit: Some searching, and actually Japan, according to this webpage is a 50/60 country... Depending on where, Tokyo being a 50 Hz area. http://www.kropla.com/electric2.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted June 1, 2009 Premium Member Share Posted June 1, 2009 I've shot quite a bit of (interlaced) PAL video in 60Hz countries. Typically, a very small amount of flicker is just about visible with discharge lights, but it's not shot-wreckingly bad if you do happen to get it wrong.

Robin R Probyn Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 Yes Tokyo is 50hz, but if you are going down to Kyoto,or Osaka it becomes 60hz..but the TV system is NTSC all over Japan. You probably wont get an English manual,but I think you can down load one. I've shot quite a bit of (interlaced) PAL video in 60Hz countries.
