Why is there no 125fps in PAL?

[LarsH]

Hello everyone,

I'm figuring out what settings I want to shoot with for my next video projects. I have the A7III and i'm in a PAL country and so I wish to use PAL, but NTSC just seems to give more frame rate options (24/30/60/120 NTSC vs 25/50/100 PAL).

Now there is one thing I don't understand. For slowmotion, in NTSC you have a 5 times slowmotion (120fps at a 24fps timeline) versus 4 times slowmotion on PAL (100fps at a 25fps timeline). If the camera can shoot 120fps, it shouldn't be that hard to implant 125fps for PAL??? Does anyone know more about this? I would love to hear it!

Best regards,
