Multimedia Video Projector

I found out a way to use my Canon S400 as a rudimentary video projector in conjunction with a TV.
  1. Mount camera to an UltraPod II tripod so that camera faces directly downwards
  2. Plug AV cable into camera and connection to the yellow video-in on the TV
  3. Set camera to macro mode
  4. Turn off the Auto Power-down mode
  5. Switch display mode to off
  6. Push shutter release half-way to focus camera on the surface of your materials
  7. Begin your presentation!
This set up should work for any digital camera with a tripod mount, video out capabilities and a macro mode. It'd be hard to find a decent camera today that didn't have these three featues. Good luck!
