Lens Shift
Proper placement of the projector relative to the screen will yield a rectangular,
perfectly-centered image that completely fills the screen.
Ideally, the projector should be positioned perpendicular to the screen and in such a
way that the lens center is aligned with either the top or bottom edge of the screen area,
and centered horizontally. See Figure 3-2.

You can use the lens shift controls to center the image on the screen. Lens shift is
generally expressed as a percentage of the screen height or width, as shown in Figure
3-3 and Figure 3-4.
Note: This is a general example of lens shift. Lenses vary in their shift capabilities. No
particular lens or projector is used in this example.
