Ceiling Mounted Projector
We have a ceiling mounted projector. It had to be raised in the back to get it on the screen. The projection is in a trapezoid shape. It looks like the image may be shooting through the top of the lens. I followed the directions in the online manual and it corrected some of it. Are there any other ways to make the image square?

Since you've followed the user manual, you've probably already adjusted as much as possible with the keystone feature. If not, please try that first.
If you have adjusted the keystoning as much as possible, you will have to move the projector. The projector shoots at an upward angle, meaning that it needs to be leveled with the screen. If you'd like to tell us the diagonal measurements of the screen, we can help you determine how many inches the projector will need to be from the top of the screen's viewing area.
Please feel free to contact our customer service team at 888-289-6786 and we can walk you through the steps to get your image nice and square.
Best,
Optoma
