Freezing the Image (Freeze)
When the moving image on the screen is frozen, the image continues to
project, so you can project a moving image one frame at a time like a still
photo. Also, you can perform operations such as changing between files
during presentations from a computer without projecting any images if the
Freeze function is activated beforehand.
Procedure

• Audio does not stop.
• The image source continues to play back the moving
images even while the screen is frozen, so it is not possible
to resume projection from the point where it was paused.
• If the [Freeze] button is pressed while the configuration
menu or a help screen is displayed, the menu or help
screen being displayed is cleared.
• Freeze still works while E-Zoom is being used.
