Frame rate is the measurement of how quickly a number of frames appears within a second, which is why it's also called FPS (frames per second).
24fps This is the minimum speed needed to capture video while still maintaining realistic motion. If you capture a really busy scene at 24fps, you'll see a lot of motion blur.
30fps With six more frames a second, you'll see more detail during scenes with high motion; however, the motion might start to look unnatural and suffer from the "soap opera effect", if a lower FPS source is displayed.
30+fps Anything higher than 30fps is usually reserved for recording busy scenes with lots of motion, such as video games, athletics, or anything you want to show in slow motion.
