13Projecting an Image Projecting/Adjusting an Image Adjusting the tilt of the projector with the adjusters When the projector is installed on an uneven surface and the projected position is low, you can adjust using the adjusters. To correct any trapezoidal distortion of the projected image, use the Keystone correction feature (pages 5, 25). Be careful not to let the projector down on your fingers. Do not push hard on the top of the projector with the adjuster extended. Since the Keystone adjustment is an electronic correction, the image may be deteriorated. Displaying a pattern for adjusting an image You can display a pattern for adjusting the projected image with the PATTERN key on the Remote Commander. Press the PATTERN key again to restore the previous image. Adjusting the Focus, Size, and Position of the Projected image Focus Size (Zoom) Position (Lens shift) Notes
