Features of the Projector
Image appearance can be selected to match the 
projection environment (Color Mode)
Sophisticated colour adjustment
The optimum images for the location can be projected simply by selecting\
 the desired colour mode from the 
following six preset modes.
If Natural, Theatre, Theatre Black 1 or Theatre Black 2 is selec\
ted, the Epson Cinema Filter effect is 
applied automatically to increase the contrast and to make skin tones appear with more natural tints.       p.18
In addition to the Color Mode, the absolute colour temperature and ski\
n tones can be adjusted by simple 
procedures to render the picture even more to your own liking. Further, you can adjust gamma, the offset and 
gain for RGB colours, and the hue and saturation of RGBCMY colours, to c\
reate colours that match the image.

Features of the Projector
Equipped with a wide-
angle lens shift function
The lens shift function allows the position of the 
projected images to be adjusted vertically and 
horizontally without distorting the images.
This can allow the projector to be set up with greater 
freedom, even if it is suspended from a ceiling or at 
an angle to the screen.       p.16For zoom adjustment, 2.1x short throw zoom lens is provided. 
Images can be projected onto an 100 screen (16:9 screen 
only) even at a distance of approximately 3 m (10 ft.).       p.10
Advanced image quality adjustment functions such as Auto Iris and Sharpn\
ess (Advanced) can be used to 
enjoy even sharper images. With the Auto Iris function turned on, the amount of light can be automatically 
adjusted to match the images being projected, to create images with dept\
h and perspective. The Sharpness function 
is used to adjust not only the entire image, but also to emphasize specific regions, such as hair and clothing. 
       p.23
A variety of image setting functions Advanced image quality adjustment functions
Some of the other many functions that are available are as follows.EPSON Super White is used to prevent overexposure that can result in images that are too bright.       p.32
