How can I convert my Sony Handycam from NTSC to Pal mode?

Question

I have a Sony DCR-HC32 Handycam, and I want to view my captured videos on the television. But the problem is that the television works on the Pal system and Camera works on NTSC system. Somehow it is not possible to convert television mode from Pal to NTSC, so can you please tell me if the camera mode could be changed from NTSC system to Pal? If so, how can I do it? Please help.

Answer 1

You can't change the recording mode with that camcorder.  Are you sure you can't play it on the TV though - most are dual standard.

Answer 2

Hi, it is done via the menu on you Handy Cam, if you are unsure of how to change this find a camera shop and they will be happy to show you haw, if however your cam does not support Pal then I am afraid it's a new cam that will. But usually they can be changed. If you have the instruction leflet read carefully, I know they can be a bit bewildering. If it does not mention how to convert then do as I surgest and find a camrea shop.

    Hope this has been some help
