Correcting keystone distortion (KEYSTONE)
When either the projector or the screen is tilted, the keystone distortion will
affect the image. You can correct the image proportions by the following
procedure.
Projector control panel
Press the KEYSTONE button.
B Press the F or G button to select the item you
want to correct, and then press the ENTER
button. Follow the procedures in the table below
to correct the keystone distortion.
NOTE:
B You can also correct keystone distortion from the “KEYSTONE” in the
“MAIN MENU”.
B Vertical and horizontal keystone distortion can be corrected to ±30° of the angle
of tilt. However, the greater the correction amount, the more the picture quality
will deteriorate, and the harder it will become to achieve a good level of focus.
To obtain the best picture quality, set up the projector and screen in such a way
that the amount of keystone correction required is as minimal as possible.
B The picture size will also change when correction of keystone distortion is carried out.
NOTE:
B The picture mode can be also selected in the “PICTURE” menu.
