Features of the Projector

Horizontal and vertical keystone correction function

Keystone distortion in the projected image can be easily corrected, not only vertically but horizontally also.

This allows even images which have been captured from a sideways angle to be projected correctly. (P. 44)

Color mode function

The optimum images can be projected simply by selecting the image quality from the following six pre-recorded settings according to the projection environment being used. (P. 63, 66)

sRGB Normal Meeting Presentation Theater Amusement

Easy to Operate

The accessory remote control can be used for operations such as pausing projection (See "Freeze" on page 54) and zooming in on important areas of an image

(See "E-Zoom" on page 56). In addition, the remote control can be used to move the pointer around on the computer screen during projection, to carry out operations such as moving to the next page to be projected.

(See "Using the Remote Control to Operate the

Mouse Pointer" on page 25.) If using the wireless mouse function with a USB

connection you can use the remote control to display the next page or previous page when giving a presentation using PowerPoint documents.

Compact and lightweight

The projector has a compact body with a footprint the size of an A4 page

(348 (W) x 104 (H) x 274 (D) mm) and is light in weight (approximately 4.2kg (9.3 lbs)).
