Video needs 24fps option

Im not sure why Leica seems to overlook this setting, but if they would add 24fps as an option this would be a killer pocket camera for video combined with M lenses. Even my iPhone can shoot 24fps. Hopefully this is just an oversight and will be added in new fw.

First of all it should be possible to change the aperture in video mode. Then we could talk about about fps.

Quite simple, as the aperture on M lenses are physical.

Does the aperture determined in P or S mode change naturally and quickly enough to be used in social event or party settings?  How about compensation through Auto ISO?  One thing I have done with a simple camera is to set shutter speed of 1/2*framerate, aperture high enough that the brightest part of a scene will work at minimum ISO, and let higher ISO compensate for the darker parts of a setting.  But the CL is intended for occasional, not professional video.  There's no 10 bit output, no audio input for use with a decent mike, and I saw somewhere that on the TL, video is shot at maximum aperture if a TL lens is used, which would certainly be limiting if that's true and still applies.

Is the iPhone considered a professional video camera? It supports 24fps.

There is absolutely no reason the CL should omit this frame rate...certainly not because there isn't a 10 bit output or the ability to add an external mic.

Leica has funny ideas about video.  When they added 24 fps to uhd on the SL in a firmware update, they added 24 and 25 fps, perhaps thinking that this way they were serving both the 50Hz and the 60 Hz international markets.  But 24 fps has nothing to do with Hertz.
