The frame rate is just a reference standard. My parents had (and I 
still have) a Bolex Paillard that would shoot from something like six 
to 56 fps.  You just turn a dial on the side to pick the speed you 
want.  Just because there's a standard speed doesn't mean that the film 
you have was shot at that speed, but its a good starting point.
