As i say it's not in de manual.

Wouldn't surprise me, it simplifies the manufacturing and shipping. A lot of products are built like that. Features are limited through software.

DV cams with passthrough shipped to UK had that feature removed because it was taxed as VCR. If I recall correctly you could flash bios to enable it.

thecoalman is right, nowadays (from many years) family of devices share same HW and usually software - there are features activated by manufacturer to differentiate portfolio (frequently those options can be activated in service menu)
