Canon XM2 - Fps Adjustment

Hi,

For my college project im using an XM2 to create a very visual efects heavy scene. I need to shoot my subject in 60 fps but i cant for the life of me figure out how to do it. Im relatively inexperienced when it comes to professional cameras but to my (possibly inaccurate) knowledge i need to increase the shutterspeed to around 1/60? am i correct in thinking that?

If anyone can tell me exactly how to accomplish this please help!

Thanks so much

is your cam a pal one if so they are 50 fps, ntsc are 60fps so you will not be able to use 60fps, the shutter speed is separate from fps ie high shutter speed is used on fast moving objects if good slow motion is required.
