Displaying Pictures with the Projector (Projector Mode)
The COOLPIX S1000pj is equipped with a built-
in projector. The ability to project pictures and
movies with simple operation makes for a
convenient way of enjoying photos at
gatherings of family and friends.
Projecting Pictures
1
Place the camera.
Place the projector stand (supplied) on a stable
and level surface such as a table.
Place the camera on the projector stand so that
the projection on the stand fits into the
camera’s tripod socket.
Position the camera so that the projector
window is pointed at a flat white surface or
movie or projector screen.
The projection distance between the camera
and screen should be approximately 26 cm to 2 m (10 in. to 6 ft. 6 in.) (
A 139).
2
Turn on the camera and press the P
button.
The camera enters projector mode and a picture
stored in the internal memory or on a memory
card inserted into the camera is projected in full-
frame playback mode onto the screen.
The camera’s monitor turns off while projecting.
3
Adjust the camera position.
To change the projected picture size, adjust the distance between the camera and
screen.
Adjust the projection angle to reduce picture distortion.
B
Projector Distortion
When the supplied projector stand is used, pictures are projected at a slightly upward angle to
prevent the surface on which the stand and camera are placed from obstructing picture projection.
The slightly upward angle of projection causes a type of distortion known as a keystone effect,
skewing picture dimensions. Using a tripod rather than the supplied projector stand to stabilize the
camera simplifies camera positioning and may also reduce the keystone effect.
