Adjusting the Color Mode

You may want to adjust the color mode to select a different setting that is appropriate for the image you’re projecting and the environment in which you’re projecting it.

If you’re projecting computer or RGB video images, the default color mode is Presentation, which is appropriate for presentations in bright rooms.

The following table lists the color modes available.
