Is there a way to zoom with this product? I have it about 2 ft away (cord is not very long) and my head barely fits in the screen.

because the lens is a medium telephoto, no, and there is no zoom in or out feature I can find. extension cords are available to place the camera farther away.

I'm having the same problem. Unfortunately, I cannot find a solution at this time.

sounds like you need to adjust the eye piece, " the lens nearest your eye ". There's a lock ring behind the zoom adjustment , loosen this ring and twist the eye piece to meet your needs. Hope this helps you.

I've had it 20 feet away from screen, image was great. Haven't tried it further because I speak with laptop and projector up front with me. Hope this helps.

I gave the unit to a friend last Christmas. As I recall, there was a button on the remote (aspect ratio maybe??) that changed how the picture filled the screen. May have to hit it several times to get proper proportions.

The projector doesn't have a zoom. The adjustment on the lens is for focus only. You would have to move the projector to a spot to fit your screen and then focus the picture. Our use for this projector is as a portable option.

I had this problem as well. You can zoom out past the area where you get the tunnel-vision effect. However, this adaptor kit does not allow you to zoom out to the maximum, thus the magnifier has little value since you can zoom under normal circumstances (without the adaptor kit) to get the same magnification.

I also had issues with it - the wifi is super weak and slow. I added a netgear wireless router to it and it's a great combo. The Zoom is fine for wired connections, but horrible with wifi. Pretty sure you can probably disable the wifi if you want.

Hi again. Just tried mine out while recording a video and zooming in and out just as you asked, and it's silent. Sorry -- it does seem that you've got a lemon.

Not even close. Per Optoma's website, this projector has only a 1.2 zoom. If you need to be that far back and display that small of a screen, your choice of projectors gets very small--perhaps nonexistent. I have an older Panasonic with a 2.0 zoom, and I can display 110" from over 17' away. But even my projector would only go down to 120" at 20 feet. You need a bigger screen!

I would think there is a "zoom" function or else it would be really really unuser-friendly

Best I managed was 25 inches. Its not ideal, its right at eye level. If anyone was able to get it shorter, I'd be interested in hearing.

Get a 9 or 10" tablet, this is too small for vision problems as I see it. Of course if you hold it horizontally you can get bigger text than vertically but surfing is difficult if you have to enlarge. A larger tablet would be better.

sorry Elaine but you can't zoom in or out. If you click on options video capture filter (c) Then camera control it's there but it wont let you use the funtion I don't know why it's a fix setting .

I am sorry to tell you that I made the same mistake. All you can do is mirror the DVI input. One thing I am working on though is creating aa custom driver that will double the virtual width of the monitor resolution while still maintaining the same height. I have gotten close once but the aspect ratio for the width doubled as well. Resulting in watching movies with a bunch of short fat people. My work around for now is to use the vga jack out of my laptop for one 23" monitor and an HDMI to DVI-D adapter and DVI-D cable to my other 23" monitor. This gives me 3 hi-res displays to use. Not the most elegant solution but it works. If you find an answer I would love to here it. If I get my custom double wide driver to work I will be happy to share. Cheers, CJ. Cjchumbley@computer.org

HeidiI don't think I'm more advance with this unit than you are at this point!I have not tried the zoom feature and I can't help you there regarding whether the text stays on the screen.I was playing with the basics of the screen formatting last night.I did mess around with the settings and got the "boxing" to be reduced and the image enlarged. I believe this was under Setup\TV Settings, and then I selected the 4:3 PS that you described.This seems to work pretty well for me.

I ended up getting a extension cord for my mic, I think I picked it up from Radio Shack. The extension cord I got will not get you out 5m tho, maybe you can find a longer one or make your own. What I do for longer distance videos is to use a remote voice recorder on my person using this mic and then sync the tracks back together during editing. Works great.
