[Note] If you do set the above item to "dial", then you should return the shuttle/jog dial to the center position after conducting shuttle or variable-speed playback. If you do not return the dial to the center position, playback in shuttle or variablespeed mode can start in rare cases because of vibration during other operations causing movement of the dial.
