Features of the Projector

Image appearance can be selected to match the

projection environment (Color Mode)

Sophisticated colour adjustment

The optimum images for the location can be projected simply by selecting the desired colour mode from the

following seven preset modes.

If "Natural", "Theatre", "Theatre Black 1", "Theatre Black 2" or "sRGB " is selected, the Epson Cinema

Filter effect is applied automatically to increase the contrast and to make skin tones appear with more natural

tints. p.18

In addition to the "Color Mode", the absolute colour temperature and skin tones can be adjusted by simple

procedures to render the picture even more to your own liking. Further, you can adjust gamma, the offset and

gain for RGB colours, and the hue and saturation of RGBCMY colours, to create colours that match the image.

Features of the Projector

Equipped with a wide-

angle lens shift function

The lens shift function allows the position of the

projected images to be adjusted vertically and

horizontally without distorting the images.

This can allow the projector to be set up with greater

freedom, even if it is suspended from a ceiling or at

an angle to the screen. p.16

For zoom adjustment, 1.5x short throw zoom lens is provided.

Images can be projected onto an 100" screen (16:9 screen

only) even at a distance of approximately 3 m (10 ft.). p.10

Advanced image quality adjustment functions such as "Auto Iris" and "Sharpness (Advanced)" can be used to

enjoy even sharper images. With the Auto Iris function turned on, the amount of light can be automatically

adjusted to match the images being projected, to create images with depth and perspective. The Sharpness function

is used to adjust not only the entire image, but also to emphasize specific regions, such as hair and clothing.

p.23

A variety of image setting functions

Advanced image quality adjustment functions

Some of the other many functions that are available are as follows.

EPSON Super White is used to prevent overexposure that can result in images that are too bright. p.30

A progressive conversion that lets you obtain ideal results both for images with large amounts of movement

and for still images. p.30

An aspect function that allows images to be viewed in wide-screen format. p.18

Memory functions that allow adjustment results to be stored and later retrieved easily using the remote control.

p.24

Lock settings that can be used to lock the projector's control panel after adjustments have been made so that

they cannot be changed by mistake, or to prevent children from accidentally turning on the power and looking

into the lens. p.31

Equipped with 1.5x short

throw zoom lens
