Adjustment range by the lens position shift (optical shift)
Perform the lens position shift within the adjustment range.
The focus may change when the lens position is shifted out of the adjust\
ment range. This is because the shift 
of the lens is restricted to protect the optical parts. Projection position can be adjusted with the optical axis shift 
function based on the position of the projected screen in the home position (standard projection position).
