Adjusting the Image
Once you see your image, you may need to make certain
adjustments.
Focusing and Zooming Your Image
Use the focus ring on the projector to sharpen the image.
Use the zoom ring on the projector to reduce or enlarge the
image. Move the tab toward the
W
to make it bigger, or
toward the
T
to make it smaller.
If the image still isn’t large enough, you may need to move the
projector farther away from the screen. You can also use the
E-Zoom
buttons on the remote control to zoom in on a
portion of the image.
Adjusting the Height of Your Image
If the image is too low on the screen, you can raise it by
adjusting the front foot:
1.
Stand behind the projector. Press the blue foot release lever
up and lift the front of the projector.
2.
Once the image is positioned where you want it, release the
lever to lock the foot in position.
3.
If necessary, you can fine-
tune the height by turning
the projector’s rear feet.
Raising the projector causes the image to distort or
“keystone,” but you can manually correct the shape as
described in the next section.
Adjusting the Image Shape
In most cases, you can maintain a rectangular image by
placing the projector directly in front of the center of the
screen with the base of the lens level with the bottom of the
screen.
Even if the projector is slightly tilted (within a range of 40° up
or down), the projector’s automatic keystone correction
function detects and corrects vertical keystone distortion.
It takes about one second after projection starts for the image
to be corrected. During this time, a vertical keystone
correction gauge appears on the screen.
If your image is still distorted, you can correct it using either
of these methods:
If the image has two parallel
sides but is wider on the top,
bottom, left, or right, you
can correct it using the
Keystone
keys on the
projector’s control panel or
the Keystone menu (see
“Using Keystone
Correction” on page 7).
If the image has no parallel
sides, you can adjust its
shape using Quick Corner
(see page 8).
You cannot use both keystone
correction and Quick Corner at the same time.

the following:
Look at the shapes of the icons on the
projector’s four
Keystone
buttons.

opposite shape of your screen image.
Continue pressing the button until
you are satisfied with the shape of the
image.
