Note: You can fine-tune these and other color and image quality settings using the projector’s
menu system (see page 31). You can also save combinations of picture settings with the Memory
feature for easy recall (see page 39). If you don’t like the settings you have selected on a particular
menu screen, you can press the Default button to restore the factory settings.
Adjusting the Gamma Setting
You can select from five gamma settings (2.0 to 2.4) or customize your own setting from your
image or a displayed graph. Lower values will increase the contrast of dark areas, but tend to
blur the bright areas. Higher values will darken the light areas. Gamma presets make minor
adjustments to mid-tone values. The larger the gamma preset, the lower the midtone values.
Changing these settings affects contrast which can be seen as a blur in bright areas.
