Not sure about the EX3 but on the EX1R, there is a top level menu called Video Set. One of the items in there is called 24p System. That setting can be set to 60i or 24PsF.

I'll have to look tonight when I get back to my camera but I thought the only place to select this is on the Genlock menu under OTHERS. For the EX3 and most likely the EX1 & 1R recording in HQ mode 24p is captured on the SxS card without pulldown. In SP mode however, it is captured as 60i and I don't think you can select to change that. Julio is correct that the selection of 24PsF or 60i for 24p is for the SDI output at least on the EX3.

On a related topic, if you had a b-camera that didn't have 24PsF, would you still shoot the EX in 24PsF and convert the b-camera in the NLE or would you shoot the EX in 24p-60i?

Yes, I have a Canon HV20 that I use as a backup cam/b-cam and even though that does insert pulldown I still shoot 24PsF on my EX3. I would rather remove pulldown on a small amount of footage used from my b-cam rather than all of the footage. When I cut 24p footage I always remove pulldown before doing any editing. That way I don't have to worry about telling the NLE if the footage includes pulldown or not and what variant it is (3:2 or 2:3:3:2).
I always capture to a CD nanoFlash when using my EX3 which is nice because when that receives a 24PsF signal it captures as progressive. It also can remove pulldown as it captures which is a nice when shooting with cameras that only output 24p on a 60i timeline (like my HV20).
