Lens Shift Range

The lens shift range represents the distance in percent (%) by which the lens can be shifted from the initial position of the projected image, with full width or full height of the projected image regarded as 100%.

VS+ = 55 [%]

VS− = 35 [%]

HS+ = HS− = 15 [%]


VS+ [%] = 55 − 3.667 × (HS+ [%] or HS− [%])

VS− [%] = 35 − 2.333 × (HS+ [%] or HS− [%])

HS+ [%] = HS− [%] = 15 − 0.273 × VS+ [%]

HS+ [%] = HS− [%] = 15 − 0.429 × VS− [%]
