Features of the Projector

Automatic keystone correction function

The vertical angle of the projector is detected, so that any vertical keystone distortion in the projected images can be automatically corrected. (p.34)

Automatic setup function

When projecting computer images, the signals from the connected computer are detected automatically and adjusted so that the optimum images are projected. Even if several people are giving presentations using the same projector, the optimum picture quality can be obtained simply by disconnecting and reconnecting the computers. Each individual setting can also be adjusted manually. (p.37)

Color mode function

The optimum images can be projected simply by selecting the image quality from the following six preset settings according to the projection environment being used.

No other troublesome colour adjustments are necessary. (p.40, 47, 49)

• sRGB			• Normal	• Meeting
•			• Theatre	• Game
	Presentation

Compact and lightweight

The projector has a compact body with a footprint the size of a B5 page

(19 (D) x 27.6 (W) x 7 (H) cm (7.5 (D) x 10.9 (w) x 2.8 (H))) and is light in weight (approximately 1.9 kg. (4.2 lbs)), making it easy to carry.

Brilliant, attractive images

Despite its compact size, the projector can display images at high resolutions with a high degree of luminance, providing beautifully clear images even in bright environments.

Easy to Operate

The accessory remote control can be used for operations such as pausing projection (see "Freeze" on p.43) and zooming in on important areas of an image

(see "E-Zoom" on p.45). In addition, the remote control can be used to move the pointer around on the computer screen during projection (see "Wireless Mouse Function" on p.21). If using the wireless mouse function, you can use the remote control to scroll back and forth through pages when projecting a PowerPoint presentation.
