Variable Speed Picture Search and Frame
Advance—Using JOG+/– and SHUTTLE Dial
Not only are the FWD and REW buttons used for picture search during playback,
but you can use the SHUTTLE dial for varying speeds, from a pause/still picture to
forward or reverse picture search. The JOG + and – buttons are used for frame
advance—a single frame at a time during pause/still.
