Read that its a location-specific feature, since Sony assume that this part of Asia do not use NTSC as the broadcast standard, we "must" therefore use PAL. A bit arbitrary for this day and age.

Guess I will have to live with it unless Sony decides to change it in a firmware upgrade.
Hey there.. there is a way u can actually get rid of that irritating caution text...It went away when i switched from 50p to 60p (pal to ntsc ) a while back... Basically what u wanna do is delete every file inside [ make sure every photo or any content prior to setting change, 25p/50p video files, folders etc] then change settings on ur camera before u let the camera format ur card. An easier way is to use a fresh card for ntsc content and another for pal...
It's indeed irritating when the ntsc text pop up but it goes away with a fresh card or a clean card... Hope it works for u, it should actually...
u can see on this thread it has worked for others too. Post #7 and post #15.

Tried your method. Didn't work after format on computer delete all files. Then I saw this from Sony
http://www.sony-asia.com/microsite/dslr_userguide/ILCE-7/eng/contents/TP0000227261.html
When the NTSC mode is selected, the “Running on NTSC.” message always appears on the start-up screen each time you turn the product on.
Sorry it didnt work. I tried it again today switching back to "NTSC" and indeed even on a brand new card it doesn't seem to go away this time round...perhaps something to do with my current regional settings...On my previous attempt , it went away after i formatted the card...
I could try changing my region (factory setting re-setup) and test it again but currently my app's all done and im lazy to reinstall them all over again...It seems that the region of the camera is more or less locked after selection at intial setup screen , changing region in menu later on only changes time zone... And only a factory reset will "Erase" the initial region setting... I'll do with with the "ntsc" message for the time being if i need to film at 24p/60p

Yeah may give it a try later. Going on a vacation tomorrow. But Sony should fix this in a firmware upgrade. I dont wanna know if I am in NTSC and delay my camera start-up process.

Try Sony Store at 313 Somerset.
If the biggest store in South East Asia doesn't have it, then it's really out of stock

Anyone has sample photos of A7 with CZ 24mm f1.8? Quite interested to see if there are artifacts/distortion at the corners.

Too bad, I was hoping they made some change after the first NEX got released...

this function sounds like the one they implemented on the fujifilm X-T1!!!
