Solving Auto Correction Problems

Try the following steps if you cannot automatically correct focus and vertical/horizontal distortion of the projected image in the following situations:
  1. Check the projector's status:
    • Remove any obstacles that are blocking the projector's camera and sensor.
    • Clean the projector's camera and sensor if they are dusty or dirty.
    • Do not move the projector while correcting the focus and keystone distortion.
  2. Check the installation environment of the projector.
    • Focus and keystone distortion of the projected image are automatically corrected under the following conditions:
      • When the size of the projected image (diagonal length) before correcting focus and keystone distortion is from 30 to 100 inches.
      • When the projection distance is about 28 to 87 inches (0.7 to 2.2 m).
      • When the installation angle of the projector toward the projection surface is within 20ยบ right, left, up, or down.
    • Remove any obstacles between the projector and the projection surface as these can interrupt the projection.
      Note: If you set Avoid Obstacles to On, the image is projected to avoid any obstacles in front of the projection surface. Your image will be re-sized to fit the available area.
      • Projector > Image Correction > Advanced > Avoid Obstacles
    • If you are using the projector in a bright room, darken the room. Do not change the room brightness while automatically correcting focus and keystone distortion.
    • Project the image on to a plain and flat surface. Do not project the image on to a patterned surface or a non-level surface.
    Note: If you cannot correct the focus and any distortion of the projected image, turn off the projector and disconnect the power cord, then reconnect the power cord and turn the projector back on. If a warning screen is displayed when you turn on the projector, contact Epson for help.
