PAL version GH-1 - MediaInfo shows NTSC

[emory]

I finally bought a GH-1 and hope to share some observations and experiences in this forum quite soon. But first, here's a quick question:

MediaInfo v. 0.7.27 shows "NTSC" as the "standard" on my .MTS files -- even though I have a PAL GH1. Is this normal for MediaInfo or did someone foist an NTSC camera on me?

Is there an objective way to verify that my GH-1 is indeed producing PAL files? The "Frame rate" is shown as 50.000 fps, which would seem to indicate PAL. Thanks for any insights.

Here, for the record, is the readout:

Just some engineer at Panasonic who forgot to change that metatag on the PAL model.

Thanks, Martti. I'm curious: does your GH-1 also show NTSC?

(I guess new camera owners are particularly nervous.)

By the way, your wonderful clips on vimeo helped convince me that the GH-1 is capable of astounding results. Thanks again.

Forget about this MediaInfo bug.
