So the 50 or 60 Hz is for playback only as we all have 12v batteries doing the recording.
I wonder what it does to the footage ?
What I think it does is when viewing the video it stops that flickering of car tail lights and intersection lights if you use 50hz. I'm in US and that stops the flickering.
It has nothing to do with electrical AC power (120 or 240 volt) frequency
Am I right or wrong?
So what do you US folks use?
It only applies to light bulbs connected to the power grid, so not car lights. It is mainly an issue with the old incandescent light bulbs that are not used any more, but can also apply to fluorescent lights that don't use electronic ballasts, not many of those about these days either, so it doesn't really matter what you set it to! (Unless the USA does still use environmentally damaging incandescent light bulbs? They are illegal this side of the Atlantic to reduce CO2 emissions.)Am I right or wrong?

It is not even good for the consumer's wallet! Since the UK banned them, the amount of electricity consumed in the UK has seen a steady decline of about 20%, which is surprising given that there are quite a few people using electricity to power cars these days and we have a lot more electric trains. It's not all from the light bulbs, but they are the thing that gets used most. Combine that with the fact that the newest wind farms to be built here will produce the cheapest electricity we have ever had and these changes for environmental protection are very good for our wallets. Meanwhile many Australians are suffering huge financial and other losses as their homes get burnt to ashes, at least that is parly their fault since they are the ones that mine the most coal and produce some of the dirtiest electricity.It's a sad and tragic state of affairs. I refer to it as "suicide capitalism".
Good to hear that effort is being made, but the graph of actual emissions is hardly heading downward, equivalent UK graph:The state publishes its emission figures and goals on a regular basis.

"In per capita terms, CO2 emissions are now just 53% of the level 1890 and below that of 1860."
Wish you wouldn't include all these latin words in your posts!
Some cameras also have a auto option for this feature.
And even if you set the camera to your local mains frequency you can still see light flicker, many a action camera user have noticed this not least when they do a slow motion recording under artificial light.
I also often see a flicker on roadside LED signs / petrol station price boards ASO
So you can still get to see this issue even if you have the correct setting in your camera.
I added a little Latin to my signature earlier today.
But nobody knows because Trump doesn't allow the graphs to be published?Word is that now, nearly eight years later the needle is moving in a somewhat better direction.
7.6 x, however the state of Vermont is tiny with a tiny economy compared to the UK, so by your argument it should be really easy for it to make a difference.The US is a huge country with an enormous economy compared to the UK
It was a quote, I can't change a quote! Presumably a United Nations or WTO phrase. And I very rarely use "i.e.", although I do use "eg", generally as a word without the "."s.BTW Nigel, it is rather amusing to see you use terms like "per capita" (A Latin phrase meaning "according to heads") in your post
The wind power capacity of the whole of New England is only 22% of Denmark's wind capacity for nearly 3x the population, hydro is a bit more, but still not a major source, majority of your electricity comes from gas.There are numerous industrial scale wind projects, a few of which have been in service for decades and new ones on the way, along with many hydro power sources. We also have a large scale hydro power arrangement with Canada, our adjacent neighbor to the north.
