Focusing the Image Using the Focus and Distortion Buttons

You can adjust the sharpness of the projected image using the focus and distortion buttons.
Note: Wait 30 minutes after turning on the projector before setting the focus, zoom, and lens shift for maximum accuracy.
  1. Turn on the projector and display an image.
    Note: If you are projecting from multiple projectors that differ in brightness, display a grayscale test pattern to adjust the focus for best results.
  2. Press the Focus button on the control panel.


  3. Do one of the following depending on the type of lens you have installed:
    • Non-short-throw zoom lens: Press the left and right arrow buttons to adjust the focus and press the Esc button when finished. Skip the rest of these steps.
    • Short-throw zoom lens: Press the left and right arrow buttons to focus the image around the center of the lens. You may see a message prompting you to correct the image distortion. Continue with the next steps.


  4. Press the Distortion button on the control panel.
  5. Press the left and right arrow buttons to focus the image in the surrounding area.
    Note: You can also adjust image distortion using the Focus + or and Distortion + or buttons on the remote control.
  6. If the center becomes out of focus again, repeat steps 2 and 3.

If you still cannot correct the focus, press the Calibration button on the remote control to calibrate the lens, then try focusing again.
