23.976, actually.

And to be clear, that's what it always means with NTSC video.

Its actually pretty rare to find cameras that shoot true 24p and not 23.976. Most of them are the higher end cameras like c300, alexa etc.

"24p" is generally considered to be 23.976. 24 frames exactly is another frame rate- not what most would define as 24p.

All the answers above are correct, but there's one thing the GH2 does which is quite unconventional, and that's that its monitor output is 60.00i, not the 59.94i that you'd expect. It uses a repeated field pulldown pattern to embed its 23.976p imagery into a 60.00i output stream. So while any reasonable person would expect the HDMI output to be 59.94i, it is in fact not. Point being, it's good to ask the question, because the answer is sometimes the unexpected.
