Help! - Importing NTSC tape on PAL camcorder

I rented a camera and accidentaly filmed on NTSC instead of PAL. I'm using a PAL mini-DV camcorder to import the footage but Final Cut Pro cannot find any video. The tape plays fine in the camcorder and I can control it through Final Cut Pro but while I can hear the audio, the image is just colour bars.

I tried going ro Easy Set Up and changing the settings from PAL to NTSC but nothing seems to work.

Do I need to rent an NTCS camera to import it or is there any way to change the settings on Final Cut Pro? Its a very basic camera I'm trying to use but if the tape plays perfectly then I don't understand why it won't import?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.4.11)
