Tape Format For Dcr Trv480

I want to capture my video tape from my Sony DCR TRV480 camcorder into the editing software for Final Cut Express. (I have no trouble doing this in iMovie, but I'm having a problem in FCE.) I need to be sure that I've chosen the same video format in Final Cut that matches the video tape format of my camcorder. My choices in Final Cut are: HD NTSC PAL Apple Intermediate Codec DV/Panasonic DVCPRO I chose NTSC and I believe that is correct. But where can I find the correct format in the literature for my camcorder? What is the tape format for the DCR TRV480?
