Projecting images stored in a memory PC card

This allows you to give presentations without a computer, create an advertising screen board using the slideshow function, and more. (The projector cannot reproduce animation effects such as those produced by Microsoft® PowerPoint®.)

Details on individual items

[PC card display] function

If you set PC card display to Auto., the projector switches to wireless/card input mode automatically when a PC card is plugged into the PC card slot. Although this item is provided as one of slideshow options, the setting works the same way even when a wireless LAN PC card is plugged into the PC card slot.

If you set PC card display to Manual, the projector makes no response to the plugging of a PC card into the PC card slot.

[Auto. demo] function

If you set Auto. demo to On, the projector starts a slide show automatically when it switches to the wireless/card input mode with a memory PC card plugged into the PC card slot. The slide show displays the JPEG files stored in the root directory of the memory PC card.

If you set Auto. demo to Off, a thumbnail list p.45 appears automatically on the screen when it switches to the wireless/card input mode with a memory PC card plugged into the PC card slot. Select and view desired JPEG image files.
