5.3. Focus and Keystone Correction

After placing the projector, adjust the image for clarity and shape:

• Electric Focus: Use the focus control (usually a button on the remote or projector) to sharpen the image until it is clear.

6. Operating the Projector

6.1. Basic Navigation

Use the included remote control to navigate the projector's menu and settings. The remote allows for quick adjustments to image, sound, and input sources.

6.2. Connecting Devices

The Sainyer Mini Projector Q100 offers multiple wired connectivity options:

• HDMI: Connect TV sticks (e.g., Fire TV Stick, Roku), gaming consoles (e.g., PS4), laptops, or other HDMI-enabled devices using the provided HDMI cable. An HDMI extender may be needed for some TV sticks due to their shape.
• USB: Insert a USB flash drive to play local media files (videos, photos, music). For wired screen mirroring with iOS devices, an additional Lightning-to-HDMI adapter is required (not included). The projector does not support direct USB mirroring for iOS without this adapter.
