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. a: Tilting angle of the projector in the “V Keystone” adjustment area b: “Side Shot” (H Keystone adjustment) area –FOCUS ZOOM SIDE SHOTPOWER SAVING TEMP/FAN LAMP/COVER + –+ –+SIDE SHOT–+ SIDE SHOT key a a bb Screen
