Tools
With this projector, you can save the image being projected (capture function) and display documents created on a
computer (PC card file function). You can also draw on the projector’s image (chalkboard function). A USB mouse is
required to use the chalkboard function.
Capture function
Use this function to store images being projected in the capture folder of a CompactFlash
card.
When “Capture” is selected, the capture toolbar is displayed in the bottom left corner of the
projected image.
The capture function cannot be selected if no CompactFlash card is loaded. (“Capture” is dis-
played in white characters.)
Use the SELECT
buttons to move the cursor (blue frame), then press the ENTER button.

Capturing images
1. Load a CompactFlash card in the PC card slot.
2. Project the image you want to capture on the projector.
3. Display the capture toolbar.
4. Start capturing.
• The “
” icon is displayed at the center of the picture during capturing. (Normally 5 to 10 seconds are required. More time may
be required, depending on the image and its resolution.)
• “Card error” is displayed if the image could not be captured or if there was not enough empty space on the CompactFlash card.
• For greater convenience when capturing video or movie images, use the still picture icon [
❙❙
] to the freeze the image at the point
from which you want to start capturing.
• To view or delete captured images with the viewer, see "Viewing Digital Images" on page E-70.
Note:
• Captured images with resolutions exceeding the projector’s native resolution (number of pixels displayed) will not be displayed properly.
• The chalkboard toolbar cannot be displayed while the capture toolbar is displayed. (The chalkboard toolbar is not displayed even if
“Chalkboard” is selected.)
• Captured images are stored in JPEG format and given file names automatically.
• The size of captured image files depends on the resolution of the input signal.
• When captured image files are displayed using the viewer function, the image size may differ according to the signal.
• The image data is compressed in JPEG format, so the picture quality decreases somewhat.
Notice
Do not remove the CompactFlash card or turn off the projector’s power during capturing (while the
icon is displayed). Doing so
may damage the CompactFlash card.
