Digital Camera Oscillator

I am looking at purchasing this camera - from a different vendor. Anyway, this site says that it is programmable between 0.3 and 25 fps.

I have yet to find anywhere else show this fps limitation. I am wondering if this is a result of the oscillator? It is a 27Mhz oscillator, and the resolution is 640x480. The image sensor used in the camera is capable of up to 60fps at 320x240, so I don't see why the camera itself cannot other than the oscillator.

Is this the case? If not, what is the oscillator's main function? And how can I up the cameras framerate?

If it is the oscillator, would I be able to use an external clock (it is a jumper setting on the board itself), that is faster to up it to 60fps?
 
The support circuitry or interface to the storage might not be fast enough for 60 fps, even if the image sensor itself can produce & dump the data. There's a lot less data per frame at 320x240 than at 640x480. You can try a faster oscillator, but I'd imagine a lot of other parts might not like that.
