Why aren't 120fps appearing in my A7Riii menus?

I'm shooting in XAVC S HD format but can't see 120fps in the Record or S&Q Settings?   

 

Can anyone explain why (:

That's because your camera is set to PAL mode (European version). Switch it to NTSC to allow 120fps. Note that this will format the SD card. Oh, and guess what, your camera will greet you every day with a "Running on NTSC" message.

This PAL/NTSC nonsense is really annoying, don't unterstand why Sony sticks to these deprecated settings. Other manufacturers (e.g. Pana/Oly) allow the user to just select the frame rate.
