Do you mean when you're animating?
It can because I have done it with mine before. You must use the software it came with.

*Bump* I still can't get 30 fps with my quickcam pro 9k. Can anyone get 30 fps with quickcapture???
Don't use quickcapture. Download one of many free frame capture programs that are avalible.
A quick dose of Monkey Jam will fix this. Go and Google it!
Blacitch if you even bothered to read the post you linked you'll notice
A) I made this thread 6 months before the QCP 9K thread and
B) I have already posted in that thread, but no one has replied.
Peanut Studios my monkey jam won't let me record footage at more than 15fps can you please explain how you increased the framerate?
Oh wow, that was another (my 3rd today) special moment...
You can get any framerate you want in MonkeyJam; remember that you're shooting one frame at a time, so things aren't live.
In MonkeyJam, go to Settings -> FPS and choose a certain framerate. Then, when you're animating make sure the Hold is on 1 (and not on 2 because that means you're effectively shooting at half the framerate you chose). When you export the .avi file from MonkeyJam, it should be the framerate you chose.
If this doesn't work, you could always import the frames into VirtualDub or VideoMach and export it as a .avi file with a certain framerate from there.
Sorry, I'm talking about live action, recording video. I'm trying to record video footage at 30fps
Its automatically on 30 or 24 already. What made you think it was 15fps? 
no you don't undertsand i want to film live video at 30 fps not animate!!!
Ah, live video. In that case make sure you have a LOT of light around, and of course be hooked up to a USB 2.0 port (as opposed to 1.0). Apart from that there's not much you can do to improve the framerate; webcams aren't really reliable for high framerates when it comes to live video.
As Bertl said use plenty of even light and maybe you could even use the "rightLight" technology:o
