What do you mean, edited on a PAL system?

I think I mean PAL as in UK?

Sure, we have PAL down here. Great system, but it only applies to TVs and some content shown on them. Doesn't apply to anything you'll use to edit on.

I’m mainly make content for online display anyway or at least offline on computers of other related hardware... so you’re saying I could leave my camera (almost) in this ntsc service mode and not have an issue with compatibility? I edit on Mac in fcpx or premiere, dabbling with editing on my iPad Pro too.

Absolutely, you'll be more compatible in ntsc/service mode than in PAL anyway.

Most action cams and cellphones will do 30fps and even 60fps. Youtube (generally) expects and recommends 30fps for input. You can't get that from a PAL compatible G7 except in service mode.

I guess about now some people will be throwing their hands up in horror and saying that for a true cinematic experience we need to be shooting in 24fps, but I've never bought into that argument - not at my level of competence, anyway.
