X-T2 Video format

[sgmcenroe]

I recently got my new X-T2 from Adorama and it came with a Corel suite. I have uploaded the Corel Video Studio 9, though at one point it asks what "Video Standard" do I use, with two options. I clicked on the simplest one which was NTSB or something like that.  Does anyone know what standard the camera actually uses?  Couldn't find anything in the owner's manual.

It may be referring to North American and European formats of NTSC or PAL.  30 frames per second (FPS) or 25 FPS.  There is lots of discussion online about the choice.  I'm in Canada, so I go with NTSC if asked.

 

If you recorded your video at 30FPS or 60FPS, then your software should probably be set to NTSC.  If you recorded at 24 or 25 or 50 FPS, I'm guessing you could set it to PAL, not sure if that is necessary or not.  I know some record their video at 24FPS but still prep it for north american standards.  I always go with NTSC and stick with 30FPS for simplicity.  

 

But I'm not an expert on this topic, that's just my experience.
