Should drop frame be unchecked in settings when editing 24p in FCP3?

Hi, I recently started to import regular 24p footage into Final Cut Pro 3 into a 29.97 timeline and when the footage is played back it looks like 30p. Is this normal? I also realized that drop frame was checked on my timeline presets. Could this be the problem? Do I need to recapture footage with the preset drop frame unchecked in order to look like 24p? Thanks.
