Asked 5 years ago by DD60.

• A:Answer Hi DD60, the Epson EpiqVision Mini EF12 laser projector does not include digital or optical zoom. To decrease the image size from 150", this projector would need to be positioned physically closer to the viewing surface. Please visit the official Epson Support website for more information.

Q: QuestionSays it's a laser projector, but under specs it says 3LCD. So which is it?

Asked 4 years ago by Zion0205.

• A:Answer Hi Zion, Laser means the light source for the EpiqVision Mini EFF12 uses a laser rather than a light bulb. The laser should last the life of the projector. The 3LCD panel determines the wide range of colors the projector outputs. Regards, Mark - The Epson Team.

Q: QuestionHow do I transfer photos for a slideshow....without casting from phone? I have laptop and Flash drives....I see there is internal storage and USB, but plugging USB in does not work.

Asked 3 years ago by DaveD.

• A:Answer Hello DaveD. For your USB device to be recognized by the EF12, it must be formatted in FAT format. You can download a Photo Gallery app from the Google Play Store to view your photos.
