--- Wondering why You do not see all record options as You have seen on most videos?
    In most cases You are in a PAL region and these options are only available if using NTSC.
    NTSC can be recorded faster to media so You can record at higher refresh rates using it.
    You can use NTSC in a PAL region but You may have more issues with 'light flicker' 
    when recording.
    
    Warning: If You change this setting from PAL to NTSC save all your media as a reformat
             of the storage media will be needed.
