You can cancel Quick Setup operation at any time by pressing the [Esc] button on either the remote control or the projector's control panel. When Auto Quick Corner detects a "frame" (detecting 3 or more sides, or top and bottom sides, or 2 adjacent sides) within the projection area, it automatically corrects the image so that it fits within the "frame" at an aspect ratio of 4:3. The "frame" means the borders of the screen, whiteboard or blackboard.
When 3 or more sides are detected
When top and bottom sides, or 2 adjacent sides are detected
When no border is detected
When the frame is horizontally long
When running Auto Quick Corner, always be sure to adjust so that the top edge of the screen is inside the projection area. If the top edge of the screen is outside the projection area, correction will not be carried out correctly. Auto Quick Corner can provide effective correction when the borders of the projection surface stand out clearly, such as a white screen with black borders. If the borders of the projection area do not stand out clearly, correction may not be carried out correctly. If projecting onto a surface such as a blackboard, drawing a white box with chalk as a border, or attaching a sheet of paper as projection area may help the correct adjustment. Auto Quick Corner can be used to carry out correction when the projector is tilted within the ranges given below. If the projector is tilted outside these ranges, correction will not be carried out correctly. Furthermore, if the projector is tilted both vertically and horizontally or if the zoom has been adjusted to "W", the correction range will become narrower than the angles given below. When correcting to within a border Vertically: Approx. 40Horizontally: Approx. 20 When projecting onto a surface without a border Vertically: Approx. 45Horizontally: Approx. 15 If the distance from the projector to the screen is more than 7.5m,(24.6 ft.) Auto Focus and Auto Quick Corner may not work correctly. In such cases, adjust the focus manually. s"Adjusting Projected Images Manually" p.67 Auto Focus and Auto Quick Corner use sensors in order to work. These sensors may not work correctly depending on factors such as the condition of the projection surface and the effects of external light. If this happens, make the adjustments manually. s"Adjusting Projected Images Manually" p.67
