    “Side Shot” and “V Keystone” Adjustments
    With “Side Shot” (horizontal keystone adjustment) provided for the projector, you can project 
    the picture from the side of the screen.
    When projecting with “Side Shot” adjustment only, you can adjust the horizontal distortion of 
    the screen to the maximum using “Side Shot.”
    When projecting with both “Side Shot” and “V Keystone” (vertical keystone adjustment), you 
    can adjust the vertical (   ) and horizontal (   ) distortion of the screen.
    Adjustment Areas of “Side Shot” and “V Keystone”
    The adjustable distortion area using “Side Shot” and “V Keystone” is described below.
