Wonderful.
1. Turn off both the video camera and projector.
2. Connect the cable from the output port of the video camera to the input port of the projector.
3. Connect the other end of the cable to the input port of the projector.
4. Turn on both the video camera and projector.
5. Set the input source of the projector to match the connection you used. For example, if you used an
HDMI cable, select “HDMI” as the input source.
6. Point the video camera at the desired projection surface and focus the image.
*****, here is the instruction for you)

After connection you have to choose USB - if you were connected by it, or HDMI - if you were using it.
So, is it successful?
