Turn this for playback in shuttle mode or variable speed
mode. Turn clockwise for forward direction playback, and
counterclockwise for reverse direction playback.
• In shuttle mode, the playback speed varies in the range
±35 times normal speed (using MPEG IMX/DVCAM),
according to the angular position of the shuttle dial.
• In variable speed mode, you can finely adjust the
playback speed from –2 to +2 times normal speed,
according to the angular position of the shuttle dial. You
can vary this playback speed range in extended menu
item 301 “VAR SPEED RANGE FOR
SYNCHRONIZATION.”
The shuttle dial has a detent at the center position, for still
image playback.
Normally, you press the SHUTTLE button before turning
the shuttle dial, but it is also possible to make a setting to
enable shuttle mode directly by turning the dial (set
extended menu item 101 “SELECTION FOR SEARCH
DIAL ENABLE” to “dial”).
Note

SEARCH DIAL ENABLE” is set to “dial,” after using the

dial is not in the center position, it is possible occasionally
for vibration from other operations to activate the dial, and
start playback in shuttle mode.
