Correcting Distortion in the Projected Image

18

f

Fitting projected image properly inside the screen

When Quick Setup detects a "frame" (detecting 3 or more sides, or top 
and bottom sides, or 2 adjacent sides) within the projection area, it 
automatically corrects the image so that it fits within the "frame" at an 
aspect ratio of 4:3. The "frame" means the borders of the screen, 
whiteboard or blackboard.

When 3 or more sides 

are detected

When top and bottom sides, or 2 

adjacent sides are detected

*

* When the projector is mounted from the ceiling, the image will be corrected 

so that the bottom edge of the frame, such as the screen, fits inside the 
projection area. 

When no border 

is detected

When the frame is 

horizontally long

q

• Quick Setup can provide effective correction when the 

borders of the projection surface stand out clearly, such as 
a white screen with black borders. When protecting 
images on a blackboard, for example, you should stick a 
large-sized sheet of white paper on the blackboard.

• Quick Setup can be used to carry out correction within the 

ranges given below. If the distortion is outside these 
ranges, correction will not be carried out correctly.
Furthermore, if the image is distorted both vertically and 
horizontally or if the zoom has been adjusted to "W", the 
correction range will become narrower than the angles 
given below.
- When correcting to within a border
   Vertically: Approx. 45°Horizontally: Approx. 20°
- When projecting onto a surface without a border
   Vertically: Approx. 45°Horizontally: Approx. 15°

• Quick Setup sometimes does not function properly when 

the distance to the screen is 7.5 m or more. If this happens, 
carry out adjustments manually.

• The state of the projection surface (flexing, patterns and 

so on.) or external light sometimes prevent Quick Setup 
from functioning properly since it uses a sensor to 
perform correction. If this happens, carry out adjustments 
manually.
