I bought my G7 about a year or so ago in the UK.

Just found out about the service mode hack and wanted to ask about people’s experience with editing the footage recorded in ntsc in the UK on a PAL system. I mainly shoot weddings so was curious as to how people do this?

What do you mean, edited on a PAL system? PAL is, strictly speaking, a TV standard (and almost irrelevant at that).

If you are editing on a PC (no PAL involved) you just use your normal native frame rate for the footage (29.97fps) and render out at the same.

If you are putting online, you are good to go; if showing as a file on TV, most modern TVs are capable of displaying the required frame rate.

I've had my G7 (and G6) set this way from new, it allows me to match the output from all other devices (cellphones, action cams) none of which are even capable of 25fps.
