  • Page 42: Keystone

    Keystone Adjustments What is Keystoning? “Keystoning” occurs when a projector is aligned non-perpendicularly to a screen, or when the projection screen has an angled surface. The image that results from one of these misalignments will look trapezoidal rather than square. Digital Keystone Adjustments By adding a special, selectable algorithm to the scaling, some new projectors are able to alter the image before it reaches the projection lens.
  • Page 43 If the image looks trapezoidal with the base larger (as pictured right), press the bottom button on the di- rectional pad on the top of the M5 until the keystone effect corrects and the picture turns into a square projection.
