Adjusting the screen ratio   

Adjust the screen ratio of the primary lens here. Adjust the screen ratio of the anamorphic 
lens after adjusting the primary lens screen ratio and mounting the anamorphic lens (See 
D-33). 
When an anamorphic lens is used, distortions will be produced on the projection screen. To 
prevent the image from being cut off due to these distortions, the image size should be 
made larger than the screen size beforehand. 
To minimize potential distortions of the anamorphic lens, it is recommended that the lens 
shift not be used as much as you can and that projection be kept at lens center.
