PAL camera trying to record NTSC problem

ed_lee83

Hi all,
This is probably a rather rare question.
I have a PAL camera and I'm trying to record something in NTSC.
But when I push record it will say "CANNOT RECORD. FILE NUMBER EXCEED LIMIT."
Now, I've reset the file and folder numbers but the error still pops up.
Any solutions?
thanks in advance

Hi @ed_lee83 please post future questions like this in http://www.personal-view.com/talks/discussion/443/basic-and-beginner-questions

There is no problem- you have to 'reformat' the card before and after changing PAL<->NTSC

oops, sorry about that mate.
I had reformatted it prior but the error kept popping up.
But now after I formatted, i turned the cam on/off again. Then it worked.
cheers

@ed_lee83
Sometimes I get away with just reformatting. But you are correct- format- then cycle!

Ttitle is misleading.
You need to turn camera Off and On again, as some PAL/NTSC standard settings are stored during startup.

Howdy, Stranger!
