I am writing to address a concern regarding two Sony FX3 cameras that I own. One of the cameras offers the 24 frames per second (fps) option, while the other does not. This inconsistency is puzzling and affects my workflow, as I rely on the 24 fps setting for cinematic video quality.

Both cameras have been updated to the latest firmware and I have thoroughly checked the settings. Despite this, the 24 fps option remains unavailable on one of the cameras.

Could you please advise on how to resolve this discrepancy and enable the 24 fps setting on the second camera? Your prompt assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Thank you for your suggestion. I am aware that 24p is an NTSC standard. My concern, however, is that despite knowing this, I am unable to find the option to switch to NTSC on my Sony FX3 camera. I have watched several tutorial videos on YouTube, but the display interface on my FX3 seems different, and the NTSC option is not where it's shown in these videos. This inconsistency is what I'm struggling with. If you have any specific guidance or steps on how to access and change this setting on the FX3, it would be helpful.

Thank you

Did you buy both FX3's at reputable dealers? To me it sounds one was bought at a grey market reseller or bought second hand. Unofficially imported cameras (as sold through grey market resellers) sometimes lack the option to switch between NTSC and PAL or to select different languages. Possibly because they're intended for regions with lower MSRP (explaining why grey market shops are so cheap). If this is the case, unfortunately you're out of luck.

Similar case to the ones described here:

      Looking for an a7R mk I, (second generation)

      By NewSonyUsER · Posted

      I'm beginning to think that I have a misconception about the a7R. The one I was wanting had the shutter release button on the hand grip with a resolution of 36mp. It appears the button moved to the handgrip on the a7R II model, which had 42mp resolution.  Sorry for any confusion, I'm in the learning stage yet.  😕 I may need to go with the basic a7 II at 24mp. The 36mp (R) model had the shutter release on the camera body (which I didn't care for).

      Looking for an a7R mk I, (second generation)

      I'd really like to find a package deal for an a7R (mk I, second generation) which includes the neckstrap and box. I've searched Ebay and currently no one is listing what I'm looking for. They either have the camera only or a first generation a7R and a lot of them don't offer the Sony neckstrap or box it came in. I know your site doesn't have a formal 'Equipment For Sale' thread and granted Ebay is a better place to sell gear but I thought I'd see if any of the members have one and would like to upgrade to a newer model but don't think anyone would be looking for one that old. The cameras I've been using are in the 20 megapixel range and rather than jumping to a 40mp camera due to file size, the 36mp that the first a7R has was appealing to me and wouldn't break the bank. I've been using Canon and Nikon but really want experience a Sony. If a post like this is undesirable for this website, I understand but I thought I would ask. Thank you.

      Any A7R iv A issues with 200-600 zoom?

      By SonyFF32137 · Posted

      Here's a good thread on the issue.... https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/4571046 And here is the info on the A7RIVA that maybe explains why I don't see the issue...  The change in wording that caught my attention is that the new A7RIVA brochure says the structure has been "re-examined and redesigned." Don't know, but given the text of other parts of the brochures are copied word for word, the change in text here seems significant. My reading of this is that it is a redesign of the A7RIV. In that case, perhaps the 200-600 issues are less severe with the new body.
