Is there 4K 24fps movie modes on cameras?

Hey there. I've been watching a lot of video footage from 4K footage but I was wondering if 4K is just for documentary style looks (like 30-60fps). Does 4K apply to the 24fps film look?

I was looking at the Blackmagic 4K Camera and was wondering what formats it shots in.

Thank you.
 
Where is it that you're looking at this camera, that doesn't include the tech specs?

4K refers to the resolution, not FRAME RATE.

24P means 24 progressive frames per second. It is sometimes slightly slowed to 23.976 frames per second to conform to the way digital audio is recorded.

Some documentaries and TV series are shot in 30P or 60i - meaning 30 frames per second of 60 Interlaced Fields, which is the very "video" look of reality TV, the news, talk shows, etc.
