    The HC-V100E camcorder is designed for use outside of North America. It's made for countries that support the PAL color encoding system.

PAL camcorders usually record using 25p, 50i or 50p frames per second (fps), while NTSC camcorders usually record using 60p/60i/30p fps. North America supports NTSC recording, which means this PAL camcorder is not compatible with TVs and HDTVs in the United States and Canada
